Asbestos testing near Winnall

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Asbestos testing near Winnall
Asbestos materials often look just like materials without it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, and that’s what we arrange in Winnall. Common materials are panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and flue pipes, and typical jobs are soffits and porch canopies before replacement and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair.
In areas like Winnall, we are often asked to test garage and shed roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

FAQs for Winnall
Is asbestos common in Winnall homes?
Any home in Winnall built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Winchester station?
Yes, we cover Winnall and the area towards Winchester station, about 1 mile west.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need more than one sample?
Usually one for each different material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The size of the job
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Where we could park
- An overall view
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
You’ll get a written quote. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
