Ludgershall: your questions answered
How far is Ludgershall from London?
We cover Ludgershall, about 68 miles from central London.
Could my house in Ludgershall contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ludgershall can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

Asbestos testing near Ludgershall

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we price asbestos testing
What changes the cost:
- What the material is and its state
- Parking and access charges
- The number of materials to sample
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A clear close-up
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Weighing up your options
You can buy home testing kits, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Accredited laboratory results
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Reports and results you can share

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Ludgershall must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

We use the right protective equipment and keep people away while sampling, even for a single sample. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us what you’d like tested
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- The written results come back to you, and we explain them
Preparing for the visit

Materials we deal with
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
After we have finished in Ludgershall
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
