How asbestos testing works in Whitehill
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Whitehill, a survey covers more, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need.

Choosing the right option
One sample or several? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Covering London and the South East
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Every main survey type
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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.
How it works
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we will mention them, so you can decide whether to test them too. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us what the material is, where it is, and send a picture if you can
- We quote for the samples needed
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know where we can park

Your questions about asbestos testing in Whitehill
Do you cover Whitehill and the area around Liphook station?
Yes. Liphook station is about 3.7 miles south-east of Whitehill, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
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.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The number of materials to sample
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How big the building is
- Travel and parking
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- A photo of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
- Approximate dimensions
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
