From tiles found under carpet and garage roofs before replacement, we deal with textured ceilings, garage roof sheets and soffit boards and more.

What else we do in Mayes Green
Mayes Green: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 Mayes Green and the area around Ockley station?
Yes, we cover Mayes Green and the area towards Ockley station, about 2.9 miles east.
Do I need more than one sample?
Generally one for each different material, sometimes more. We will recommend a number once we know more.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
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.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What happens next
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
After we have finished:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Let us know what you want to do next
What to avoid
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
How we price asbestos testing
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Which survey type fits your plans
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
- A photo of the whole area
- Damaged areas
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
Where asbestos turns up
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. A test beforehand prevents it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Mayes Green:
- Debris found after DIY
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
If you’re a letting agent with homes near Ockley station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
Choosing the right option
One sample or several? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Records for your files
- Domestic and commercial work
- Across London and the South East

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
