Asbestos testing for Warlingham properties
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos We sample suspect materials in Warlingham and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you have a written answer before any work starts. Typical materials include soffit boards, floor tiles and garage roof sheets, and typical jobs are floor tiles and black adhesive and single materials in rented homes between tenancies.
In a smaller place like Warlingham, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding, as well as ceilings and floors in the house. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Good to know
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Warlingham: your questions answered
Do you work near Upper Warlingham station?
Yes. Upper Warlingham station is about 0.9 miles west of Warlingham, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Warlingham have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Warlingham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Warlingham?
We do: our area includes Warlingham and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll advise when you tell us what you are testing.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
