Asbestos testing in Lindford
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. If you are planning bigger work in Lindford, a survey of the areas affected is typically better, and we will tell you honestly which you need. Common materials are textured ceilings, panels behind heaters and soffit boards, and people generally contact us about floor tiles and black adhesive and soffits and porch canopies before replacement.
In a smaller place like Lindford, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Common questions in Lindford
Do you work near Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Lindford and the area towards Liphook station, about 3.9 miles south-east.
Do you cover Lindford from London?
We cover Lindford, about 42 miles from central London.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
