Asbestos testing for Sutton Scotney
Asbestos testing in Sutton Scotney
Testing suits one or two specific materials. If you’re planning bigger work in Sutton Scotney, a survey of the areas affected is generally better, and we will tell you honestly which you need. Common materials are flue pipes, soffit boards and textured ceilings, and people usually contact us about tiles found under carpet and single materials in rented homes between tenancies.
In towns and villages like Sutton Scotney, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
After the job
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we’ll explain what happens then.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Clear access to the area
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Avoid these
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Common reasons for tests in Sutton Scotney

- Something broken during building work

- Boiler cupboard panels
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
If you live in an older house in Sutton Scotney, get suspect materials tested before you start.
