Asbestos testing in Longmoor
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. If you’re planning bigger work in Longmoor, a survey of the areas affected is normally better, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need. Typical jobs include something broken during building work and one-off checks in rented property, involving floor tiles, textured ceilings and black adhesive.
In a village like Longmoor, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Which option is right?
Testing before work generally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it does not:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Panels behind heaters
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Floor tiles

Longmoor: your questions answered
Do you work near Liss station?
Yes. Liss station is about 2.3 miles south-west of Longmoor, and we cover both.
How far is Longmoor from London?
We cover Longmoor, about 45 miles from central London.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We will tell you whether you need it.
When will I get the result?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

DIY and asbestos

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
