What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

About our asbestos testing in Breamore
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Breamore use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Common materials are black adhesive, garage roof sheets and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about corrugated roof sheets and answers trades need before starting.
Rural properties near Breamore may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Breamore questions
Could my house in Breamore contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Breamore may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Breamore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll suggest a number when we see the photos.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

What else we do in Breamore
Common reasons for tests in Breamore
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so appearance and age are not enough.
In older properties, we often see:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
If you live in an older house in Breamore, a quick test before work is sensible.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
