Asbestos testing for Stockbridge
How asbestos testing works in Stockbridge
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos We sample suspect materials in Stockbridge and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical jobs include garage roofs before replacement and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, including garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Rural properties near Stockbridge may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Don’ts
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Which option is right?
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you are worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs usually just need a test. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Questions from Stockbridge
Do you cover small places like Stockbridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Stockbridge from London?
We cover Stockbridge, about 66 miles from central London.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How do I know if a material in Stockbridge contains asbestos?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
