Asbestos testing near Monxton
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. You will learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we’ll explain your options. People often contact us about textured ceilings before a renovation and lab results for contractors before they start, including textured ceilings, panels behind heaters and floor tiles.
In towns and villages like Monxton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?

What else we do in Monxton
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Hampshire may have it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Panels behind old heaters
Parents and staff at schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.

Monxton questions
Do you cover Monxton and the area around Andover station?
Yes, we cover Monxton and the area towards Andover station, about 2.8 miles east.
Do you cover small places like Monxton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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 are testing.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
