Asbestos testing near Norwood Hill
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You will learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we’ll explain your options. We often deal with textured ceilings, soffit boards and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about answers trades need before starting and Artex before downlights or rewiring.
Village homes in places like Norwood Hill often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

After we have finished in Norwood Hill
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Going forward:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- File the result with your property paperwork
Avoid these
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Please don’t take your own sample.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Norwood Hill
Do you work near Horley station?
Yes. Horley station is about 2.8 miles east of Norwood Hill, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We will advise when you tell us what you are testing.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
