About our asbestos testing in Weston
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Weston use testing before small jobs: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. Typical jobs include garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and boiler cupboard panels, involving textured ceilings, flue pipes and garage roof sheets.
Rural properties near Weston may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We only recommend work that is needed.

Weston questions
Do you cover small places like Weston?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
After we have finished in Weston
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Make the area easy to reach
- Photos of the material help us plan
Avoid these
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Where asbestos turns up
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, since sampling disturbs the material.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Soffit boards
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
If you are a letting agent with homes near Petersfield station, you can test a material while the property is empty.
