Asbestos testing near Green Cross
Asbestos testing near Green Cross
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Green Cross use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. We often deal with floor tiles, black adhesive and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are results builders ask for before work and single materials in rented homes between tenancies.
In towns and villages like Green Cross, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Green Cross
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Green Cross homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you test Artex in Green Cross?
We do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you work in Green Cross?
We do: our area includes Green Cross and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Which option is right?
Air testing is different from sample testing. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

What else we do in Green Cross
The scope of asbestos testing
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it does not:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Roof felt
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Flue pipes
- Soffit boards
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Bitumen adhesive
- Garage roof sheets
Where asbestos turns up
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples, since sampling disturbs the material.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Porch canopies
- A material damaged during DIY
If your home is one of the older properties in Green Cross, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere, get suspect materials tested before you start.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
