How asbestos testing works in West End
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain what that means for your plans in West End. Whether it’s single materials in rented homes between tenancies and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, we deal with floor tiles, black adhesive and garage roof sheets and more.
Village homes in areas like West End often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Typical tests in West End
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. A test beforehand prevents it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Porch canopies
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Results builders ask for before work
- Tiles found under carpet
If you let property close to Hersham station, testing before work avoids delays.
Questions to ask before booking
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

Afterwards
File the results with your house paperwork, for future work or a sale.
Staying safe afterwards:

West End: your questions answered
Do you cover West End and the area around Hersham station?
Yes, we cover West End and the area towards Hersham station, about 1.1 miles north-west.
How far is West End from London?
We cover West End, about 15 miles from central London.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
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.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
What to photograph:

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
