Asbestos testing near Egham Wick
Asbestos materials often look just like materials without it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, which is what our testing service in Egham Wick provides. From floor tiles and black adhesive and garage roofs before replacement, we deal with soffit boards, panels behind heaters and floor tiles.
In places like Egham Wick, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, as it means disturbing the material. We can do it for you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Materials, one by one
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Looking after things afterwards
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so it’s safe while you wait.
Some practical advice:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Group several materials into one visit
Avoid these
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
