Asbestos testing in Winsor
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Typical jobs include garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, including floor tiles, garage roof sheets and black adhesive.
In areas like Winsor, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it

What else we do in Winsor
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Winsor, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Winsor: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Winsor?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Winsor and the area around Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes. Ashurst New Forest station is about 2.7 miles south-east of Winsor, and we cover both.
Do you cover Winsor?
Yes, we do: our area includes Winsor and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need more than one sample?
Normally one per material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Looking after things afterwards
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
To avoid problems in future:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
What to avoid
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
