Duty holders and landlords in Thedden
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Thedden
How far is Thedden from London?
We cover Thedden, about 47 miles from central London.
Do you work near Alton station?
Yes, we cover Thedden and the area towards Alton station, about 2.6 miles east.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will give you an idea when we book.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
