How asbestos testing works in Goodworth Clatford
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and results builders ask for before work, we cover soffit boards, panels behind heaters and garage roof sheets and more.
Village homes in areas like Goodworth Clatford often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Goodworth Clatford
Do you come out to small villages like Goodworth Clatford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Goodworth Clatford contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Goodworth Clatford can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Looking after things afterwards
If asbestos is found, we will explain your options: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
Don’ts
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
A closer look at the materials
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
