About our asbestos testing in Lucas Green
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Lucas Green use testing before small jobs: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. From garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, we cover black adhesive, soffit boards and panels behind heaters and more.
Village homes in areas like Lucas Green often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What else we do in Lucas Green
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Lucas Green: your questions answered
How far is Lucas Green from London?
We cover Lucas Green, about 26 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Lucas Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lucas Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in Lucas Green

- Artex and textured ceilings

For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Lucas Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
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 it costs
What changes the cost:
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Material and condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge.
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so it’s worth knowing.
What we deal with in Lucas Green
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may have it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Porch canopies
- Answers trades need before starting
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
Schools such as Bisley CofE Primary School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Whether extra samples cost more
The process
Taking a sample is generally quick; the laboratory analysis takes longer. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.

- We take each sample safely and seal it
- The laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the result and explain it

After the job
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
To avoid problems in future:
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Photos of the material help us plan
Things not to do
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
