How asbestos testing works in Blashford
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos In Blashford, we take samples of suspect materials and send them to an accredited laboratory, so you have a written answer before any work starts. Typical jobs include floor tiles and black adhesive and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, including panels behind heaters, black adhesive and floor tiles.

What happens next
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we will explain what happens then.
A few practical points:
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Make the area easy to reach
Avoid these
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

What else we do in Blashford
Blashford questions
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Blashford contain asbestos?
If your home in Blashford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. We’ll suggest a number when we see the photos.

- The type of survey you need

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Blashford, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
