What it might be made of

Cement sheets

We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof.

Floor tiles and adhesive

Tiles are often found under newer floors; test them before they come up.

How asbestos testing works in Medstead

We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. From corrugated roof sheets and panels behind old heaters, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and garage roof sheets and more.

Properties in Medstead with outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Helpful guides

Where is asbestos found in homes?

Can I do it myself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Your options compared

A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Common questions in Medstead

Is asbestos common in Medstead homes?

Any home in Medstead built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work near Alton station?

Yes. Alton station is about 4.4 miles north-east of Medstead, and we cover both.

What does licensed work mean?

Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area in the job.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

What it costs

Prices vary with:

The type of survey you need
How much sampling is needed
The size and age of the building
What the material is and its state

We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Helping us quote

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
A rough size or measurement
A closer photo of the material, without touching it
The parking area

To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Looking after things afterwards

File the results with your house paperwork, for future work or a sale.

After we have finished:

Tell us what work you’re planning
Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
Keep the results for future work or a sale
If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it

Avoid these

If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.

Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.

For businesses and landlords in Medstead

If you manage or own a block in Medstead, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

What’s included, and what isn’t

We’re upfront about what’s included:

Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What we deal with

Pipe lagging
Flue pipes
Water tanks
