Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Tiles found under carpet
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Garage roofs before replacement
If you live in an older house in Farleigh Green, a quick test before work is sensible.

Asbestos testing in Farleigh Green
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. That’s safer than breaking off a piece yourself. Whether it’s results builders ask for before work and debris found after DIY, we cover black adhesive, panels behind heaters and textured ceilings and more.
Village homes in places like Farleigh Green often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Farleigh Green
Do you cover Farleigh Green from London?
Farleigh Green is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Farleigh Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How do I know if a material in Farleigh Green contains asbestos?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We sample it and have it analysed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Materials we deal with
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Helpful guides
After the job
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so it’s safe while you wait.
Going forward:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Photos of the material help us plan
Things not to do
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
