How asbestos testing works in North Baddesley
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Typical jobs include corrugated roof sheets and textured ceilings before a renovation, including panels behind heaters, black adhesive and flue pipes.
In a smaller place like North Baddesley, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Choosing the right option
You can buy home testing kits, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in North Baddesley were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- The building’s size and layout
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
- A photo of the whole area
- Labels, if any
Each job is priced individually. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
