Asbestos testing across SO32
Before small jobs in SO32, people often test first: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. We often deal with flue pipes, black adhesive and garage roof sheets, and people typically contact us about garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and panels behind old heaters.
We wear suitable protective equipment and keep the work area clear, however small the job.
- Tell us what the material is, where it is, and send a photo if you can
- We agree how many samples are needed and send a quote
- We take each sample with wetting and controls, and seal it
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
Cost
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Records for your files
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Asbestos testing across SO32
In SO32, a quick test before a small job is common, from Winchester, Bishop's Waltham and Boorley Green to its villages.
Bishop's Waltham: For older homes anywhere in Bishop's Waltham, from near Church of St Peter outwards, test any suspect materials before renovation. Schools such as Bishop's Waltham Junior School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in SO32, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Your options compared
One sample or several? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples.
What to look for in a quote
- How many samples are included
- What the report or result will contain
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
How we price asbestos testing
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The survey type
- How easy it is to reach
- The size and age of the building
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Where we could park
Each job is priced individually. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
SO32 questions
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
When will I get the result?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
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. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
