Your options compared
Air tests are not the same as material tests. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Lyndhurst, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Lyndhurst, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
How it works
We use the right protective equipment and keep people away while sampling, even for a single sample. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Tell us what you’d like tested
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- A surveyor visits and samples each material, sealing the sample points
- We send the samples to an accredited laboratory
- The written results come back to you, and we explain them

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Where asbestos turns up
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so materials in homes and buildings across Hampshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- A material damaged during DIY
- Tiles found under carpet
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
If your home is one of the older properties in Lyndhurst, near Church of Our Lady and St Edward or elsewhere, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
