How asbestos testing works in BN44
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in BN44 and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical jobs include garage roofs before replacement and tiles found under carpet, involving floor tiles, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters.
The sample point is sealed, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result.
- Send us photos of the material
- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- We visit and take the samples
- The samples go to an accredited laboratory

BN44: testing for homes and workplaces
From Horsham, Steyning and Upper Beeding to 6 villages and hamlets, we test materials in homes and workplaces across BN44. Textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roofs are the most common. 5 of the places we cover in BN44 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Steyning: If you let property close to Lancing station, you can test a material while the property is empty. For older homes anywhere in Steyning, from near Jarvis Hall outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
After the job
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Clear access to the area
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Photos of the material help us plan
Test before you book the builders, so you can plan properly.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
Why people call us in BN44
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Panels behind old heaters
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Debris found after DIY
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
Common questions in BN44
How long do test results take?
That depends on the laboratory. We will give you an idea when we book the sampling.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
