About our asbestos testing in Fisher's Pond
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in Fisher's Pond and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Whether it’s soffits and porch canopies before replacement and Artex before downlights or rewiring, we cover soffit boards, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters.
In a village like Fisher's Pond, 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.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Fisher's Pond questions
Do you cover Fisher's Pond from London?
Fisher's Pond is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Fisher's Pond?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
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, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you test Artex in Fisher's Pond?
We do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What happens if the test is positive?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Duty holders and landlords in Fisher's Pond
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Options to consider in Fisher's Pond
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs normally just need a test. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Materials we deal with
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. A test tells you which.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
After we have finished in Fisher's Pond
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Keeping things safe:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Group several materials into one visit
- Clear access to the area
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Things not to do
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
How we work
Sampling a typical material takes a short time once we are set up; the laboratory analysis takes longer. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- You get a quote for the samples needed
- Samples are taken with controls
- The laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the written result and our advice
