If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

The scope of asbestos testing
A few things to be aware of:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials in Hampers Green
- Roof felt
- Soffit boards
- Bitumen adhesive
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Pipe lagging
- Garage roof sheets
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles
- Panels behind heaters
Materials, one by one
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Parking and access charges
- The type of survey you need
- How many outbuildings are included
- The building’s size and layout
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- Damaged areas
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Common reasons for tests in Hampers Green
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets and boards can all look the same with or without asbestos, so appearance and age are not enough.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Panels behind old heaters
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- One-off checks in rented property
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
If you live in an older house in Hampers Green, a quick test before work is sensible.
