Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos testing for Sparsholt properties
Before small jobs in Sparsholt, people often test first: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. From Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover floor tiles, panels behind heaters and flue pipes and more.
Village homes in areas like Sparsholt often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

After the job
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Let us know what you want to do next
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Make the area easy to reach
Avoid these
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.

These come up again and again:
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Tiles found under carpet
- Results builders ask for before work
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
At a school like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

How we price asbestos testing
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much sampling is needed
- The size and age of the building
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Damaged areas
- Visible markings
- The access route
- The parking area

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
