How asbestos testing works in TN30
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in TN30 you’re not sure about, testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Typical materials include textured ceilings, flue pipes and garage roof sheets, and people typically contact us about debris found after DIY and textured ceilings before a renovation.
Each sample is small, sealed in a bag, labelled and logged, then go off to the lab.
- Tell us what you’d like tested
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- 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

Near you in Tenterden
Locally, our jobs take us close to Parish Church of St Mildred, Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre and Turners Field, among other places.

Testing materials in TN30
From Tenterden, St Michaels and Wittersham to 12 villages and hamlets, we test materials in homes and workplaces across TN30. Artex, floor tiles and garage roofs come up most. 5 of the places we cover in TN30 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Tenterden: For an older property in Tenterden, whether near Parish Church of St Mildred or not, a quick test before work is sensible. If you work at a school like Tenterden Infant School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Typical tests in TN30
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so materials in homes and buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Debris found after DIY
- One-off checks in rented property
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
How we price asbestos testing
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos testing:
- The size and age of the building
- How much there is
- Parking and access charges
- The number of materials to sample
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

The scope of asbestos testing
Worth knowing before booking:
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Your questions about asbestos testing in TN30
Do you cover TN30?
Yes, we do: TN30 is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
