About our asbestos testing in Whiteley Village
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Whether it’s floor tiles and black adhesive and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, we cover soffit boards, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters.
In areas like Whiteley Village, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common questions in Whiteley Village
Do you work near Weybridge station?
Yes. Weybridge station is about 1.4 miles north-west of Whiteley Village, and we cover both.
How far is Whiteley Village from London?
We cover Whiteley Village, about 18 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you test Artex in Whiteley Village?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Helpful guides
Typical tests in Whiteley Village
Many trades will not touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Debris found after DIY
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Tiles found under carpet
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
For rented homes around Weybridge station, a quick test between tenants is worth considering.

Prices and what affects them

- The survey type
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
- How big the building is
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
- An idea of size
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What happens next
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear access to the area
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
Don’ts
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
A test before removal is a good idea.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.
Choosing the right option
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
