Asbestos help in Normandy
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, as one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Asbestos testing for Normandy properties
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in Normandy and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. From answers trades need before starting and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we cover textured ceilings, garage roof sheets and black adhesive and more.
Village homes in places like Normandy often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Testing materials in Normandy
Normandy is about 4 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Properties in Normandy range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey.
Schools such as Wyke Primary School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works. If you let property close to Wanborough station, you can test a material while the property is empty.
Here we cover the GU3 postcode area, and your test can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Manor Farm Close, Guildford Road and Milton Close, and asbestos testing is available on all of them. Neighbouring places we cover include Willey Green (1 mile east), Flexford (1 mile south), Christmas Pie (1 mile south), Wyke (1 mile west) and Wanborough (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (6 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north-west), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (13 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).
A little further out are Ash Museum (2.1 miles west) and Guildford Hospital (2.6 miles east). The countryside around Normandy includes Hog's Back and Ash Ranges.
- Nearby, you’ll find Duke of Normandy pub (0.5 miles east)
Other services in Normandy
For businesses and landlords in Normandy
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Normandy were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Choosing the right option
You can buy home testing kits, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Across London and the South East
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Clear written quotes

Common questions in Normandy
Do you cover small places like Normandy?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Normandy have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Normandy can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What we deal with in Normandy
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, since sampling disturbs the material.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- A material damaged during DIY
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
For older homes anywhere in Normandy, from near Church of St Mark outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
