Asbestos help in Hurley
Asbestos testing near Hurley
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Whether it’s floor tiles and black adhesive and corrugated roof sheets, we cover black adhesive, floor tiles and panels behind heaters and more.
Village homes in places like Hurley often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. A test tells you which.

Materials we see
- Floor tiles
- Water tanks

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hurley must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Questions from Hurley
Do older homes in Hurley have asbestos?
Any home in Hurley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Hurley and the area around Marlow station?
Yes, we cover Hurley and the area towards Marlow station, about 2.6 miles north-east.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we will explain what applies to your job.
