Choosing the right option
Air tests are not the same as material tests. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What else we do in Egham Hythe
Common questions in Egham Hythe
Could my house in Egham Hythe contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Egham Hythe may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Egham Hythe and the area around Egham station?
Yes. Egham station is about 1 mile west of Egham Hythe, and we cover both.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. We can take it for you.
What happens if the test is positive?
We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How do I know if a material in Egham Hythe contains asbestos?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
After we have finished in Egham Hythe
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will usually be licensed, and we’ll explain what happens then.
Keeping things safe:
- Group several materials into one visit
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Make the area easy to reach
Avoid these
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
