Helpful guides
Towns and villages near Pyrford
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A closer look at the materials
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.
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Weighing up your options
You can buy home testing kits, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

FAQs for Pyrford
Do you work near West Byfleet station?
Yes. West Byfleet station is about 1 mile north-east of Pyrford, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Looking after things afterwards
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so it’s safe while you wait.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Clear access to the area
What to avoid
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Test before booking the builders, so there is no delay later.
