Asbestos testing for Eversley Centre properties
Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Common materials are black adhesive, garage roof sheets and textured ceilings, and people normally contact us about garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and debris found after DIY.
In places like Eversley Centre, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Eversley Centre
Do you cover Eversley Centre and the area around Crowthorne station?
Yes, we cover Eversley Centre and the area towards Crowthorne station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Could my house in Eversley Centre contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Eversley Centre can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Eversley Centre, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

What happens next
A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Group several materials into one visit
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Things not to do
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Test before you book the builders, so there’s no delay later.
What it might be made of
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
What we deal with in Eversley Centre
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. A test beforehand prevents it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- One-off checks in rented property
- Tiles found under carpet
- Results builders ask for before work
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
At a school like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
