Asbestos testing in Wrotham
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Wrotham use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. From corrugated roof sheets and results builders ask for before work, we deal with black adhesive, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Village homes in places like Wrotham often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
- How many different materials need sampling
- How big the building is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- The access route
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
Duty holders and landlords in Wrotham
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
After the job
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
After we’ve finished:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Make the area easy to reach
- Group several materials into one visit
Things not to do
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Should you do it yourself?

Wrotham questions
Could my house in Wrotham contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Wrotham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you cover Wrotham?
Yes, Wrotham is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
