Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Mottisfont, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Where asbestos turns up
Testing can show a material doesn’t contain asbestos at all, so work can carry on normally.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Something broken during building work
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Answers trades need before starting
If you live in an older house in Mottisfont, a quick test before work is sensible.
Questions to ask before you book
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- The report contents
The scope of asbestos testing
What’s in and what’s out:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Flue pipes

Mottisfont: your questions answered
Could my house in Mottisfont contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Mottisfont from London?
Mottisfont is about 70 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need more than one sample?
Typically one for each different material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. We’ll recommend a number once we know more.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
