Asbestos testing for Michelmersh properties
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. We often deal with flue pipes, soffit boards and black adhesive, and typical jobs are a material damaged during DIY and checks before maintenance in rented homes.
In towns and villages like Michelmersh, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
For businesses and landlords in Michelmersh
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in Michelmersh, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Questions from Michelmersh
Do you work near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. Mottisfont & Dunbridge station is about 1.5 miles west of Michelmersh, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Michelmersh?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need more than one sample?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll advise when you tell us what you’re testing.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
