- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning

FAQs for Pamber Green
Do older homes in Pamber Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pamber Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Pamber Green and the area around Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes. Bramley (Hants) station is about 2.5 miles east of Pamber Green, and we cover both.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Where asbestos turns up
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. Testing first avoids that.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- A material damaged during DIY
- Answers trades need before starting
Schools such as Tadley Community Primary School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Areas included and excluded

What it costs
What drives the price:
- The type of material and its condition

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
