Asbestos testing near Molesey
FAQs for Molesey
Could my house in Molesey contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Molesey and the area around Hampton Court station?
Yes, we cover Molesey and the area towards Hampton Court station, about 0.7 miles north-east.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You will get an estimate when we quote.
Asbestos testing near Molesey
You can’t tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, which is what our testing service in Molesey provides. People often contact us about results builders ask for before work and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including textured ceilings, flue pipes and black adhesive.
Homes in places like Molesey with older garages and outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What’s in and what’s out:
- 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
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.

Options to consider in Molesey
Air testing is different from sample testing. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
