Asbestos help in Dippenhall
Questions from Dippenhall
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes, we cover Dippenhall and the area towards Farnham station, about 1.8 miles east.
Is asbestos common in Dippenhall homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dippenhall may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask us and we will explain what applies to your job.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not reliably by eye: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Asbestos testing near Dippenhall
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain what that means for your plans in Dippenhall. Common materials are soffit boards, black adhesive and panels behind heaters, and people typically contact us about textured ceilings before a renovation and results builders ask for before work.
In a village like Dippenhall, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

The scope of asbestos testing
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Roof felt
- Soffit boards
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. Testing identifies them.
What affects the price in Dippenhall
What changes the cost:
- How many different materials need sampling
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- The survey type
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
You will get a written quote. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
After the job
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear access to the area
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Test everything you are worried about at once
Don’ts
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.

Common situations in older properties include:

- Something broken during building work
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Garage roofs before replacement
If you let flats near Farnham station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
How it works
We seal the sample point with a suitable sealant or tape, so it stays safe until the result arrives. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We quote for the samples needed
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- We send the result and explain your options
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Tell us about parking and access
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
