Typical materials include panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about textured ceilings before a renovation and lab results for contractors before they start.
In a village like Stanwell Moor, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What else we do in Stanwell Moor
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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
