Asbestos testing in New Alresford
Testing suits one or two specific materials. If you’re planning bigger work in New Alresford, a survey of the areas affected is normally better, and we will say which makes sense. Whether it’s textured ceilings before a renovation and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we cover panels behind heaters, floor tiles and textured ceilings and more.
In a smaller place like New Alresford, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding, as well as ceilings and floors in the house. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

New Alresford: your questions answered
Do older homes in New Alresford have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover New Alresford from London?
We cover New Alresford, about 54 miles from central London.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
Duty holders and landlords in New Alresford

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The size of the job
- How much sampling is needed
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The access route
- An overall view
- Visible markings
- A clear close-up
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Materials we deal with

Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
