For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Clear written quotes

Can I do it myself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we deal with in Hook Park Estate
Builders and plasterers increasingly ask for a test result before starting work on older surfaces, and a lab result is what they’re after.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Something broken during building work
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
If you work at a school like Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

Hook Park Estate questions
Do you cover Hook Park Estate from London?
Hook Park Estate is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Hook Park Estate have asbestos?
If your home in Hook Park Estate was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. We’ll tell you whether you need it.
After the job
File the results with your house paperwork, for future work or a sale.
After we have finished:
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Make the area easy to reach
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
Don’ts
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
