Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so the result matters.
Common reasons for tests in Hatherden
Testing can show a material doesn’t contain asbestos at all, which saves time and money.
In older properties, we often see:
- Results builders ask for before work
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
If you let property close to Andover station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.
What your quote should include

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Nearby places to Hatherden
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hatherden must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After the job
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will usually be licensed, and we’ll explain what happens then.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Photos of the material help us plan
Don’ts
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Questions from Hatherden
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes, we cover Hatherden and the area towards Andover station, about 2.9 miles south.
Do you come out to small villages like Hatherden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
The scope of asbestos testing
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Bitumen adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Garage roof sheets
