Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The process
We start by agreeing exactly what to sample, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.

The scope of asbestos testing
A few things to be aware of:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Bitumen adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Panels behind heaters
- Flue pipes
- Garage roof sheets
- Roof felt
- Soffit boards
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Artex and textured ceilings
What happens next
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Clear access to the area
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
Don’ts
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.

Questions from Bedhampton
Could my house in Bedhampton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Bedhampton and the area around Bedhampton station?
Yes, we cover Bedhampton, including the streets around Bedhampton station.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. If you are unsure, ask us to take it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
