Asbestos testing in Everton
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. That’s safer than breaking off a piece yourself. People often contact us about soffits and porch canopies before replacement and corrugated roof sheets, involving garage roof sheets, flue pipes and textured ceilings.
In a village like Everton, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Everton: your questions answered
Do you work near Lymington Town station?
Yes, we cover Everton and the area towards Lymington Town station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Do older homes in Everton have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Everton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What happens if the test is positive?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
The process
Sampling a typical material takes a short time once we are set up; the laboratory analysis takes longer. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- We quote for the samples needed
- We take each sample with wetting and controls, and seal it
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the result and explain your options
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Let us know if something’s broken
Ask for a quote
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
For businesses and landlords in Everton
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
- Roof felt
- Garage roof sheets
- Flue pipes
- Soffit boards
- Artex and textured ceilings
What happens next
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Make the area easy to reach
What to avoid
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Please don’t take your own sample.
Your options compared
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Reports and results you can share
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Every main survey type

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Everton

- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Soffit boards
- Answers trades need before starting
- Garage roofs before replacement
