How asbestos testing works in Crookham Village
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Crookham Village you are not sure about, testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. We often deal with soffit boards, black adhesive and panels behind heaters, and people generally contact us about boiler cupboard panels and checks before maintenance in rented homes.
In areas like Crookham Village, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
For businesses and landlords in Crookham Village
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Crookham Village must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If your business premises in Crookham Village were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Once we are done:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Clear access to the area
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.

How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Across London and the South East
