DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
About our asbestos testing in Church Crookham
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Church Crookham, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with, and what to do next. Common materials are panels behind heaters, textured ceilings and garage roof sheets, and typical jobs are something broken during building work and soffit boards.
In a village like Church Crookham, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Church Crookham
How far is Church Crookham from London?
Church Crookham is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Church Crookham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Church Crookham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not reliably by eye: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
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.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
