For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Asbestos testing for Deddington properties
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Deddington you’re not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Typical materials include flue pipes, garage roof sheets and black adhesive, and people generally contact us about something broken during building work and Artex before downlights or rewiring.
In towns and villages like Deddington, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Deddington
How far is Deddington from London?
Deddington is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Kings Sutton station?
Yes. Kings Sutton station is about 3.2 miles north-east of Deddington, and we cover both.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
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.
Do you cover Deddington?
We do: our area includes Deddington and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
Your options compared
How many samples? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear written quotes
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
