Asbestos testing for Aaron's Hill
How asbestos testing works in Aaron's Hill
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. If you are planning bigger work in Aaron's Hill, a survey of the areas affected is generally better, and we will tell you honestly which you need. People often contact us about boiler cupboard panels and soffit boards, including floor tiles, panels behind heaters and garage roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Aaron's Hill, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.
Aaron's Hill questions
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Godalming station?
Yes. Godalming station is about 0.6 miles east of Aaron's Hill, and we cover both.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. We’ll tell you whether you need it.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you cover Aaron's Hill?
We do: Aaron's Hill is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Aaron's Hill
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How much sampling is needed
- The building’s size and layout
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- A picture of the whole area
- A close-up from a safe distance
