Our asbestos testing in RH15
Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. That’s safer than breaking off a piece yourself. Typical jobs include soffits and porch canopies before replacement and textured ceilings before a renovation, involving flue pipes, textured ceilings and garage roof sheets.
Sampling a typical material takes a short time once we are set up.
- Let us know which materials you are worried about
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them

Testing materials in RH15
From Burgess Hill, Lewes and World's End to 2 villages and hamlets, we test materials in homes and workplaces across RH15. Textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roofs are the most common. Parts of RH15 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.
Burgess Hill: Parents and staff at schools such as St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School can ask about the school’s asbestos management. For properties on main roads such as the A273 and B2036, let us know where we can park.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
After the job
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
- Clear access to the area
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- File the result with your property paperwork
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in RH15, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If your business premises in RH15 were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
How we price asbestos testing
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How big the building is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

FAQs for RH15
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. We will tell you whether you need it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is 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.
How do I know if a material in RH15 contains asbestos?
Not reliably by eye: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
