How asbestos testing works in Isington
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Whether it’s a material damaged during DIY and boiler cupboard panels, we deal with garage roof sheets, flue pipes and panels behind heaters.
In a village like Isington, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Don’ts
Please do not take your own sample.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Isington
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.
Could my house in Isington contain asbestos?
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.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
How do I know if a material in Isington contains asbestos?
Not by looking: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Do I need more than one sample?
Typically one for each different material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
Do you work in Isington?
We do: our area includes Isington and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you test Artex in Isington?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
