Asbestos testing near Stubbington
Testing suits one or two specific materials. For larger projects in Stubbington, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense. From something broken during building work and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we cover soffit boards, black adhesive and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Stubbington, we’re often asked to test garage and shed roofs, as well as ceilings and floors in the house. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Where asbestos turns up
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so appearance and age are not enough.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Corrugated roof sheets
Parents and staff at schools such as Crofton Anne Dale Junior School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.
Before you book anyone
- What you’ll receive in writing
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

For businesses and landlords in Stubbington
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
For managing agents and freeholders in Stubbington, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Pipe lagging
- Garage roof sheets
- Bitumen adhesive
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Floor tiles
- Flue pipes
- Soffit boards
- Panels behind heaters
How we price asbestos testing
Every quote reflects:
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of materials to sample
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Street parking nearby
- A picture of the whole area
- An idea of size
- The access route
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
One sample or several? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Questions from Stubbington
How far is Stubbington from London?
Stubbington is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Stubbington contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Stubbington may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do I need more than one sample?
Normally one per material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. We will recommend a number once we know more.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
