Weighing up your options
Air tests aren’t the same as material tests. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Asbestos testing near Hightown
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. That is safer than breaking off a piece yourself. Typical materials include textured ceilings, floor tiles and black adhesive, and typical jobs are soffit boards and floor tiles and black adhesive.
Village homes in places like Hightown often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Hightown, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
If you run a business from older premises in Hightown, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles
- Water tanks
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
- Garage roof sheets

- Artex and textured ceilings

- Bitumen adhesive
- Roof felt
Afterwards
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
Some practical advice:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Group several materials into one visit
- Clear access to the area
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
What to avoid
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
FAQs for Hightown
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Hightown?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work in Hightown?
Yes, we do: Hightown is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
