Asbestos testing for Clanville properties
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos We sample suspect materials in Clanville and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical materials include black adhesive, textured ceilings and garage roof sheets, and typical jobs are checks before maintenance in rented homes and floor tiles and black adhesive.
In areas like Clanville, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
For managing agents and freeholders in Clanville, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Materials, one by one
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Common reasons for tests in Clanville
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may have it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Soffit boards
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Answers trades need before starting
If you live in an older house in Clanville, get suspect materials tested before you start.

What happens next
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Group several materials into one visit
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Avoid these
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Clanville: your questions answered
How far is Clanville from London?
Clanville is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Clanville have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
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. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you’re planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
