We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.

What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
A test before removal is a good idea.
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. Testing identifies them.
Typical tests in Conford
Testing can show a material does not contain asbestos at all, which saves time and money.
In older properties, we often see:
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Something broken during building work
- One-off checks in rented property
For rented homes around Liphook station, a quick test between tenants is worth considering.
