We often deal with black adhesive, floor tiles and flue pipes, and typical jobs are lab results for contractors before they start and tiles found under carpet.

Common reasons for tests in Hartley Wespall
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may have it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Soffit boards
- Corrugated roof sheets
If you let flats near Bramley (Hants) station, testing before work avoids delays.

- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Weighing up your options
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
