Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Some practical advice:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
Don’ts
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
The scope of asbestos testing
What’s in and what’s out:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Bitumen adhesive
- Soffit boards

Your questions about asbestos testing in Lower Eashing
How far is Lower Eashing from London?
Lower Eashing is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Godalming station?
Yes. Godalming station is about 1.3 miles east of Lower Eashing, and we cover both.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
