About our asbestos testing in Belmont
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Belmont use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Typical jobs include tiles found under carpet and something broken during building work, involving soffit boards, black adhesive and floor tiles.
In a smaller place like Belmont, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Belmont
Do you cover Belmont and the area around Belmont station?
Yes, we cover Belmont, including the streets around Belmont station.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You can’t tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We sample it and have it analysed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you whether you need it.
Afterwards
We seal the sample point when sampling, so it’s safe while you wait.
Going forward:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
Avoid these
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not try to clean it up.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Flues and tanks
A test before removal is a good idea.
How it works
Sampling a typical material takes a short time once we are set up; the laboratory analysis takes longer. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- You get a quote for the samples needed
- Samples are taken with controls
- The laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the written result and our advice
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move things out of the way carefully
