Asbestos testing for Pitch Place
Asbestos testing for Pitch Place properties
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Common materials are garage roof sheets, soffit boards and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about one-off checks in rented property and garage roofs before replacement.
Rural properties near Pitch Place may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The building’s size and layout
- Access to the area
- The survey type
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
- Visible markings
- Damaged areas
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
What happens next
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Once we are done:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Make the area easy to reach
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Do not touch it before we arrive
Things not to do
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Pitch Place: your questions answered
Could my house in Pitch Place contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
How do I know if a material in Pitch Place contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We sample it and have it analysed.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Garage roof sheets
- Flue pipes
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Floor tiles
- Water tanks
- Panels behind heaters
- Bitumen adhesive
- Soffit boards
- Pipe lagging
