Asbestos testing near Holt Pound

People often contact us about panels behind old heaters and checks before maintenance in rented homes, including flue pipes, black adhesive and floor tiles.
In areas like Holt Pound, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For businesses and landlords in Holt Pound
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
How it works
On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Let us know which materials you’re worried about
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- A surveyor visits and samples each material, sealing the sample points
- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them
Before we arrive
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Move things out of the way carefully

Questions from Holt Pound
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Holt Pound?
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?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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.
