Asbestos testing in Netley Marsh
If something has been damaged during work in Netley Marsh, stop first. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with, and what to do next. Typical materials include textured ceilings, flue pipes and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about one-off checks in rented property and something broken during building work.
In a village like Netley Marsh, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and does not cover:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Netley Marsh
Is asbestos common in Netley Marsh homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How do I know if a material in Netley Marsh contains asbestos?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
