About our asbestos testing in Frimley
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Frimley? Testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed. We often deal with soffit boards, panels behind heaters and flue pipes, and typical jobs are boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and corrugated roof sheets.
Testing before renovation is common in areas like Frimley. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Choosing the right option
You can buy home testing kits, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Covering London and the South East
- Every main survey type
- Clear written quotes
See our prices page and the cost guide.
What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
Some bitumen products contain asbestos.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
What it costs
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The quantity or area
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Material and condition
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- A rough size or measurement

Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common reasons for tests in Frimley
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. Testing first avoids that.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
If your home is one of the older properties in Frimley, near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere, a quick test before work is sensible.

Common questions in Frimley
Do older homes in Frimley have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Frimley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Frimley station?
Yes. Frimley station is about 0.7 miles west of Frimley, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
