Asbestos testing near Frimley Green
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Frimley Green, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense. We often deal with floor tiles, garage roof sheets and textured ceilings, and people normally contact us about corrugated roof sheets and soffits and porch canopies before replacement.
In areas like Frimley Green, we’re often asked to test garage and shed roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Frimley Green
Is asbestos common in Frimley Green homes?
If your home in Frimley Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Frimley Green from London?
Frimley Green is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does weather affect the work?
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 that a competent person should take samples, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. We will recommend a number once we know more.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The survey type
- How many different materials need sampling
- How easy it is to reach
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If you run a business from older premises in Frimley Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
