Questions from Sarisbury Green
Could my house in Sarisbury Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sarisbury Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work in Sarisbury Green?
We do: Sarisbury Green is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We sample it and have it analysed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After the job
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Once we are done:
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Group several materials into one visit
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Make the area easy to reach
Avoid these
Do not break off a piece to test yourself.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
