Asbestos testing in Passfield
Asbestos testing for Passfield properties
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Passfield you’re not sure about, testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. People often contact us about floor tiles and black adhesive and something broken during building work, involving panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and soffit boards.
In places like Passfield, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Which option is right?
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs usually just need a test. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Passfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Passfield from London?
We cover Passfield, about 42 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How long do test results take?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.

Afterwards
A positive result is not a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
Going forward:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Group several materials into one visit
What to avoid
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
