What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- 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 booking.

Asbestos testing in Blendworth
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain your options. People often contact us about boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, including floor tiles, soffit boards and black adhesive.
In places like Blendworth, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Choosing the right option
No one can confirm asbestos from a photo. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Every main survey type
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

FAQs for Blendworth
Do you cover Blendworth and the area around Rowlands Castle station?

Do you cover Blendworth from London?
Blendworth is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you test Artex in Blendworth?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Duty holders and landlords in Blendworth
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
