Your questions about asbestos testing in Sutton at Hone
Do you come out to small villages like Sutton at Hone?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Sutton at Hone from London?
Sutton at Hone is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.

- We agree how many samples are needed and send a quote
- We take each sample with wetting and controls, and seal it
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
How to prepare

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Sutton at Hone must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What happens next
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Some practical advice:
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Things not to do
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
What it might be made of
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. Testing identifies them.
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
