Asbestos testing in Kempshott
How asbestos testing works in Kempshott
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. Typical jobs include garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and textured ceilings before a renovation, including soffit boards, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In a smaller place like Kempshott, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Weighing up your options
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs normally just need a test. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

For businesses and landlords in Kempshott

FAQs for Kempshott
Do older homes in Kempshott have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is about 2.8 miles north-east of Kempshott, and we cover both.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you cover Kempshott?
Yes. We cover Kempshott and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
