Asbestos testing near Kingsley Green
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos We sample suspect materials in Kingsley Green and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you have a written answer before any work starts. Common materials are black adhesive, garage roof sheets and soffit boards, and typical jobs are single materials in rented homes between tenancies and answers trades need before starting.
Village homes in areas like Kingsley Green often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Questions from Kingsley Green
Do you cover Kingsley Green from London?
We cover Kingsley Green, about 41 miles from central London.
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 need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What happens if the test is positive?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you cover Kingsley Green?
We do: our area includes Kingsley Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Common reasons for tests in Kingsley Green
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so materials in homes and buildings across Surrey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Panels behind old heaters
- Soffit boards
For rented homes around Haslemere station, you can test a material while the property is empty.

The scope of asbestos testing
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it does not:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Roof felt
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards

- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
