Asbestos testing near Chute Forest
About our asbestos testing in Chute Forest
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we cover garage roof sheets, flue pipes and black adhesive.
In towns and villages like Chute Forest, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Chute Forest
How far is Chute Forest from London?
Chute Forest is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Chute Forest and the area around Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 4.6 miles south-east of Chute Forest, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How many different materials need sampling
- The survey type
- The type of material and its condition
- The building’s size and layout
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
