Asbestos testing near Chisbridge Cross
Asbestos testing for Chisbridge Cross properties
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. That is safer than breaking off a piece yourself. From floor tiles and black adhesive and one-off checks in rented property, we cover black adhesive, flue pipes and floor tiles and more.
In areas like Chisbridge Cross, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

The scope of asbestos testing
A few things to be aware of:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles
- Panels behind heaters
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Soffit boards
- Water tanks
- Pipe lagging
- Garage roof sheets
- Bitumen adhesive
After the job
We seal the sample point when sampling, so it’s safe while you wait.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Make the area easy to reach
- Send photos of the material and where it is
Avoid these
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Weighing up your options

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chisbridge Cross, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
