Bordon questions
Is asbestos common in Bordon homes?
If your home in Bordon was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Bordon from London?
Bordon is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Duty holders and landlords in Bordon
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bordon must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Bordon, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Flue pipes
- Roof felt
- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards

Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we will recommend the right option.
What happens next
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Make the area easy to reach
What to avoid
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
