About our asbestos testing in East Anton
If something has been damaged during work in East Anton, stop first. A test will show whether it contains asbestos. From answers trades need before starting and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we deal with black adhesive, flue pipes and garage roof sheets and more.
Properties in East Anton with outbuildings may have roofs worth testing before work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Pipe lagging
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Soffit boards
- Water tanks

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Duty holders and landlords in East Anton
If your business premises in East Anton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Choosing the right option
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Questions from East Anton
Could my house in East Anton contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in East Anton may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes, we cover East Anton and the area towards Andover station, about 1.6 miles south-west.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, because the material has to be disturbed. We can do it for you.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will give you an idea when we book.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Materials we deal with
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. A test tells you which.
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
