About our asbestos testing in Shepperton Green
Asbestos materials often look just like materials without it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, and that is what we arrange in Shepperton Green. People often contact us about textured ceilings before a renovation and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, including flue pipes, textured ceilings and garage roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Shepperton Green, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding, as well as ceilings and floors in the house. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Shepperton Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
FAQs for Shepperton Green
Could my house in Shepperton Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Shepperton Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Shepperton Green from London?
We cover Shepperton Green, about 17 miles from central London.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
How long do test results take?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll give you an idea when we book.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
