About our asbestos testing in North Fareham
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. People often contact us about answers trades need before starting and corrugated roof sheets, including soffit boards, black adhesive and floor tiles.
In a village like North Fareham, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

Normally one per material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. We’ll recommend a number once we know more.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
