Asbestos testing for Sarisbury properties
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, and that is what we arrange in Sarisbury. Typical materials include panels behind heaters, textured ceilings and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about something broken during building work and Artex before downlights or rewiring.
Properties in Sarisbury with outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Where asbestos turns up
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. A test beforehand prevents it.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- One-off checks in rented property
- Debris found after DIY
- Soffit boards
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
If your home is one of the older properties in Sarisbury, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere, get suspect materials tested before you start.

Questions from Sarisbury
Could my house in Sarisbury contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Sarisbury is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will give you an idea when we book.

Weighing up your options
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs typically just need a test. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear 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.
