Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Catisfield, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it might be made of
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating, from a discreet spot.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- How big the building is
- How many outbuildings are included
- The type of survey you need
- Access to the area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
- Damaged areas
- Labels, if any

Your questions about asbestos testing in Catisfield
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 1.3 miles east of Catisfield, and we cover both.
Do you cover Catisfield from London?
We cover Catisfield, about 66 miles from central London.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. We can take it for you.
Can you test Artex in Catisfield?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you cover Catisfield?
Yes, Catisfield is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What we do and don’t cover
Before booking, note that:
- 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’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Panels behind heaters
- Soffit boards
- Floor tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Bitumen adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Where asbestos turns up
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. A test beforehand prevents it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Tiles found under carpet
- Something broken during building work
For older homes anywhere in Catisfield, from near Church of St Peter outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
