About our asbestos testing in Dumpford
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Dumpford use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. People often contact us about corrugated roof sheets and soffit boards, including floor tiles, textured ceilings and garage roof sheets.
In a village like Dumpford, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common reasons for tests in Dumpford
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may have it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Debris found after DIY
- Answers trades need before starting
- Tiles found under carpet
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
For older homes anywhere in Dumpford, from near St George's Church outwards, get suspect materials tested before you start.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Weighing up your options
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Every main survey type
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Condition assessed for every material
See our prices page or our cost guide.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos testing:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The size of the job
- How many different materials need sampling
- The survey type
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area

Your questions about asbestos testing in Dumpford
Do you come out to small villages like Dumpford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Liss station?
Yes, we cover Dumpford and the area towards Liss station, about 4.9 miles north-west.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
