About asbestos testing in BN25
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Typical jobs include garage roofs before replacement and Artex before downlights or rewiring, including textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roof sheets.
If we see anything else suspicious, we will tell you, in case you want them tested as well.
- Let us know which materials you are worried about
- You get a quote for the samples
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- We send the samples to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them

Asbestos testing across BN25
Testing across BN25 covers Seaford, Tide Mills and Bishopstone and 4 villages and hamlets. Textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roofs are the most common. Parts of BN25 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common. 5 of the places we cover in BN25 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Seaford: On busy roads like the A259, parking can be tricky, so mention it when you get in touch. For an older property in Seaford, whether near Church of St Thomas More or not, test any suspect materials before renovation.

Materials, one by one
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so it’s worth knowing.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in BN25, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
The scope of asbestos testing
Before you book, note that:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
BN25 questions
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
