Common reasons for tests in Deepcut
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets and boards can all look the same with or without asbestos, so you cannot go by looks or age alone.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Porch canopies
At a school like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

What else we do in Deepcut
Deepcut questions
Is asbestos common in Deepcut homes?
Any home in Deepcut built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Farnborough North station?
Yes, we cover Deepcut and the area towards Farnborough North station, about 1.9 miles west.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
How many samples will I need?
Usually one per material, sometimes more. We’ll suggest a number when we see the photos.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
You can buy home testing kits, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
