Asbestos testing near Kingsfold
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in Kingsfold and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. We often deal with textured ceilings, soffit boards and panels behind heaters, and typical jobs are tiles found under carpet and one-off checks in rented property.
In a village like Kingsfold, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

For businesses and landlords in Kingsfold
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Garage roof sheets
- Pipe lagging
- Panels behind heaters
- Bitumen adhesive
- Soffit boards
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles
FAQs for Kingsfold
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Kingsfold and the area around Warnham station?
Yes. Warnham station is about 1.6 miles south of Kingsfold, and we cover both.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
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 need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
