Asbestos in Jordans
Jordans is a small planned village founded in the early twentieth century around the historic Quaker meeting house, with an unusually coherent stock of Arts and Crafts influenced houses from the 1910s and 1920s plus later twentieth-century infill. The original houses were built before asbestos became ubiquitous in domestic construction, but virtually all have been re-serviced since, bringing in flue pipes, tank cupboards, cement sheet garage roofs and textured ceiling coatings. The village's communal buildings and the surrounding smallholdings add further cement sheet roofing and cladding. Careful, well-documented management suits Jordans better than wholesale removal, given the conservation character of the village.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Jordans properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring in Jordans: FAQs
Is it always better to remove asbestos rather than leave it?
No. If a material is in good condition, sealed and unlikely to be disturbed, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 approach is to record it, label it where appropriate and manage it in place. Removal disturbs fibres and costs far more, so it is generally reserved for damaged materials or areas about to be worked on.
What does a management survey actually give me?
You get a report listing every presumed or confirmed asbestos-containing material with its location, type, condition and risk score, plus a plan and drawings you can hand to any contractor. For a typical village house or small communal building that usually costs from around £200-£300.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
