About our asbestos testing in Chartwell Green
Asbestos materials often look just like materials without it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, and that is what we arrange in Chartwell Green. Common materials are panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about panels behind old heaters and debris found after DIY.
Properties in Chartwell Green with outbuildings may have roofs worth testing before work. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Helpful guides
Chartwell Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Chartwell Green from London?
We cover Chartwell Green, about 67 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Chartwell Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chartwell Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How many samples will I need?
Generally one per material, sometimes more. We’ll advise when you tell us what you are testing.

Yes, we do: Chartwell Green is within the area we cover in Southampton. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What we deal with in Chartwell Green
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so materials in homes and buildings across Southampton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Chartwell Green:
- A material damaged during DIY
- Tiles found under carpet
- Answers trades need before starting
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
If you’re a letting agent with homes near Swaythling station, you can test a material while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- VAT, clearly stated
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How many samples are included
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Chartwell Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Options to consider in Chartwell Green
One sample or several? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
How we work in Chartwell Green
- Condition assessed for every material
- Records for your files
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
Read how we price jobs or the cost guide.
What happens next
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Group several materials into one visit
What to avoid
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
