How asbestos testing works in RH20
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain your options. Typical jobs include Artex before downlights or rewiring and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, including textured ceilings, soffit boards and floor tiles.
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we’ll mention them, so you can decide whether to test them too.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- You get a quote for the samples needed
- We take each sample safely and seal it
- An accredited lab analyses them
- You get the written result and our advice
What you’ll pay
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

RH20: testing for homes and workplaces
In RH20, a quick test before a small job is common, from Horsham, Storrington and West Chiltington Common to its villages. Parts of RH20 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common.
Storrington: If you are a letting agent with homes near Pulborough station, a single material can be tested between tenancies. On busy roads like the B2139, parking can be tricky, so mention it when you get in touch.
After we have finished in RH20
If no asbestos is found, work can typically go ahead normally.
- Clear access to the area
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
Please don’t take your own sample.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not try to clean it up.
Where asbestos turns up
Many trades will not touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a lab result is what they’re after.
Typical jobs in RH20 include:
- Something broken during building work
- One-off checks in rented property
- Tiles found under carpet
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Weighing up your options
A test or a full survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs typically just need a test.
Questions to ask before you book

RH20: your questions answered
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When will I get the result?
That depends on the laboratory. You will get an estimate when we quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
