Looking after things afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, for future work or a sale.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Group several materials into one visit
- Clear access to the area
- Let us know what you want to do next
Avoid these
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Warsash questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Swanwick station?
Yes. Swanwick station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Warsash, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in Warsash?
We do: Warsash is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask and we’ll explain.
What it might be made of
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so it’s worth knowing.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you are worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. For small jobs a test is often enough. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
