How asbestos testing works in Burley Street
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Burley Street you are not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Common materials are panels behind heaters, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and boiler cupboard panels.
In areas like Burley Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Make the area easy to reach
Don’ts
Test before you book the builders, so you can plan properly.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Burley Street questions
Do you come out to small villages like Burley Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You can’t tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We sample it and have it analysed.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Where asbestos turns up
A test can stop you paying for removal you don’t need, so work can carry on normally.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Something broken during building work
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
If you live in an older house in Burley Street, a quick test before work is sensible.

The scope of asbestos testing
What’s in and what’s out:
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with
- Panels behind heaters
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles
- Roof felt
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Water tanks

Step by step
We start by agreeing exactly what to sample, then sample each material with controls to limit dust. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Get in touch with photos
