About our asbestos testing in Brooklands
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Brooklands? Testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. Typical materials include flue pipes, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and people generally contact us about floor tiles and black adhesive and corrugated roof sheets.
Homes in towns and villages like Brooklands with older garages and outbuildings may have roofs worth testing before work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Where asbestos turns up
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so you cannot go by looks or age alone.
These come up again and again:
- A material damaged during DIY
- Tiles found under carpet
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
If the property is on or near the B374, tell us about parking, as stopping on main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Areas included and excluded
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

If you let property close to Weybridge station, a quick test between tenants is worth considering. If you work at a school like Heathside School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

Questions from Brooklands
Do you cover Brooklands and the area around Weybridge station?
Yes, we cover Brooklands, including the streets around Weybridge station.
Could my house in Brooklands contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brooklands may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
Do I need more than one sample?
Generally one for each different material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Brooklands, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The process
On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then sample each material with controls to limit dust. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We agree the number of samples and send a quote
- Samples are taken with controls
- An accredited lab analyses them
- You get the written result and our advice
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep children and pets away on the day
