Asbestos testing for Phoenix Green
Asbestos testing in Phoenix Green
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. It’s safer than DIY sampling. We often deal with panels behind heaters, floor tiles and soffit boards, and people normally contact us about textured ceilings before a renovation and panels behind old heaters.
In a village like Phoenix Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Common questions in Phoenix Green
How far is Phoenix Green from London?
We cover Phoenix Green, about 38 miles from central London.
Do you cover Phoenix Green and the area around Winchfield station?
Yes, we cover Phoenix Green and the area towards Winchfield station, about 0.7 miles south.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need more than one sample?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll suggest a number when we see the photos.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. We can take it for you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Water tanks
- Panels behind heaters
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Flue pipes
- Garage roof sheets
- Pipe lagging
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
Common reasons for tests in Phoenix Green
Builders and plasterers increasingly ask for a test result before starting work on older surfaces, and a lab result is what they’re after.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- A material damaged during DIY
- Porch canopies
- Tiles found under carpet
- Panels behind old heaters
For rented homes around Winchfield station, you can test a material while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which areas and materials are covered
- VAT, clearly stated
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t

Looking after things afterwards
If no asbestos is found, work can typically go ahead normally, and you can show the result to your builder.
After we have finished:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Group several materials into one visit
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Tell us what work you’re planning
Don’ts
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
