Your questions about asbestos testing in Worting
Could my house in Worting contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Worting can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Worting from London?
Worting is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you test Artex in Worting?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
After the job
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will generally be licensed, and we will explain what happens then.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Make the area easy to reach
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
Avoid these
Test before you book the builders, so you can plan properly.
Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of survey you need

- Every main survey type
- Across London and the South East
