Areas we cover
Asbestos testing across SO45
Asbestos materials often look just like materials without it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, and that’s what we arrange in SO45. People often contact us about one-off checks in rented property and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving black adhesive, panels behind heaters and flue pipes.
On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards.

Where we test in SO45
From Hythe, Dibden Purlieu and Blackfield to 13 villages and hamlets, we test materials in homes and workplaces across SO45. Artex, floor tiles and garage roofs come up most. The New Forest National Park is within easy reach of places across SO45, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common. Around 18 places in SO45 are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Hythe: Parents and staff at schools such as Waterside Primary School can ask about the school’s asbestos management. For older homes anywhere in Hythe, from near Church of St John outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in SO45, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- The building’s size and layout
- Travel and parking
- How many outbuildings are included
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
For a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
Questions from SO45
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I know if my property contains 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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
