About our asbestos testing in Deane
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You will learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain what that means for your plans in Deane. Whether it’s textured ceilings before a renovation and debris found after DIY, we cover garage roof sheets, soffit boards and textured ceilings and more.
In a village like Deane, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Deane, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Common reasons for tests in Deane
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
These come up again and again:
- A material damaged during DIY
- Answers trades need before starting
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Porch canopies
If you let property close to Overton station, you can test a material while the property is empty.

Deane questions
Is asbestos common in Deane homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Deane from London?
We cover Deane, about 51 miles from central London.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you do air testing?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. Ask and we will explain.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Garage roof sheets

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
