Questions from Pyrford Green
Do you cover Pyrford Green from London?
Pyrford Green is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Asbestos testing near Pyrford Green
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. People often contact us about Artex before downlights or rewiring and results builders ask for before work, involving panels behind heaters, flue pipes and garage roof sheets.
In a village like Pyrford Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Helpful guides
After we’ve finished in Pyrford Green
If no asbestos is found, work can typically go ahead normally, and you can show the result to your builder.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear access to the area
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Send photos of the material and where it is
Things not to do
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How easy it is to reach
- How many outbuildings are included
- The number of materials to sample
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Roof felt and mastics
Some bitumen products contain asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

For businesses and landlords in Pyrford Green
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Pyrford Green 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.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
