Your options compared
Air testing is different from sample testing. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Recommendations in plain English
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Accredited laboratory results
- Domestic and commercial work

About our asbestos testing in Hyde
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Hyde? Testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. We often deal with panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about textured ceilings before a renovation and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In towns and villages like Hyde, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in Hyde
Do older homes in Hyde have asbestos?
If your home in Hyde was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you cover Hyde?
We do: Hyde is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.

Keep the results with your property records, for future work or a sale.
Going forward:

What to avoid
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.

Every job is quoted in writing. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Why people call us in Hyde
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, since sampling disturbs the material.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Soffit boards
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
For an older property in Hyde, whether near Church of the Holy Ascension or not, test any suspect materials before renovation.
Questions to ask before booking
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- What the report or result will contain
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
