Your questions about asbestos testing in Nob's Crook
Do you cover Nob's Crook and the area around Eastleigh station?

Do you cover Nob's Crook from London?
Nob's Crook is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What happens if the test is positive?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Asbestos testing near Nob's Crook
Testing suits one or two specific materials. If you’re planning bigger work in Nob's Crook, a survey of the areas affected is normally better, and we will say which makes sense. We often deal with flue pipes, soffit boards and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about tiles found under carpet and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair.
Rural properties near Nob's Crook may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.
