About our asbestos testing in Wootton
Testing suits one or two specific materials. For larger projects in Wootton, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense. People often contact us about debris found after DIY and porch canopies, including garage roof sheets, soffit boards and floor tiles.
In towns and villages like Wootton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wootton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Wootton
Do you cover Wootton and the area around New Milton station?
Yes, we cover Wootton and the area towards New Milton station, about 2.2 miles south.
Could my house in Wootton contain asbestos?
If your home in Wootton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
