Asbestos testing for Norney
Asbestos testing in Norney
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. People often contact us about debris found after DIY and Artex before downlights or rewiring, involving black adhesive, textured ceilings and soffit boards.
In a village like Norney, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Norney
Do you work near Godalming station?
Yes. Godalming station is about 1.6 miles east of Norney, and we cover both.
How far is Norney from London?
We cover Norney, about 32 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
The scope of asbestos testing
Before you book, note that:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles
- Water tanks
- Bitumen adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Panels behind heaters
- Garage roof sheets
- Roof felt
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Norney must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Why people call us in Norney

- Porch canopies
