Asbestos testing in New Haw
About our asbestos testing in New Haw
Testing suits one or two specific materials. For larger projects in New Haw, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense. From checks before maintenance in rented homes and answers trades need before starting, we deal with flue pipes, soffit boards and textured ceilings.
Properties in New Haw with outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Where asbestos turns up
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, since sampling disturbs the material.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
For rented homes around Byfleet & New Haw station, you can test a material while the property is empty.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.
