After the job
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Test everything you are worried about at once
Avoid these
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Typical tests in Amport
The risk generally comes from drilling or sanding something nobody had tested. A test beforehand prevents it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Debris found after DIY
- Panels behind old heaters
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Garage roofs before replacement
For an older property in Amport, whether near Church of St Mary or not, test any suspect materials before renovation.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so it’s worth knowing.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
