Asbestos testing near Redenham
Asbestos testing for Redenham properties
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. Typical jobs include boiler cupboard panels and Artex before downlights or rewiring, including garage roof sheets, soffit boards and textured ceilings.
In places like Redenham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common reasons for tests in Redenham
Many trades won’t touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a lab result is what they’re after.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Porch canopies
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
If you work at a school like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Redenham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough, from a discreet spot.
FAQs for Redenham
Do you come out to small villages like Redenham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Redenham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Redenham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Redenham?
Yes. We cover Redenham and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What happens next
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Some practical advice:
- Clear access to the area
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Don’ts
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
