Asbestos testing in Row Town
Testing suits one or two specific materials. If you are planning bigger work in Row Town, a survey of the areas affected is generally better, and we will say which makes sense. From results builders ask for before work and Artex before downlights or rewiring, we cover flue pipes, black adhesive and floor tiles and more.
In a smaller place like Row Town, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Row Town, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Questions from Row Town
Do you cover Row Town and the area around Addlestone station?
Yes. Addlestone station is about 1.2 miles north-east of Row Town, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Row Town have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating, from a discreet spot.
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
