Asbestos testing near Woolmer Hill
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we will explain what that means for your plans in Woolmer Hill. Typical materials include black adhesive, panels behind heaters and textured ceilings, and people generally contact us about garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and something broken during building work.
Rural properties near Woolmer Hill may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Where asbestos turns up
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may have it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Tiles found under carpet
- Panels behind old heaters
- Answers trades need before starting
For older homes anywhere in Woolmer Hill, from near St Paul outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

Common questions in Woolmer Hill
Is asbestos common in Woolmer Hill homes?
If your home in Woolmer Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Haslemere station?
Yes, we cover Woolmer Hill and the area towards Haslemere station, about 1.5 miles north-east.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state
- How big the building is
- The type of survey you need
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Choosing the right option
Testing before work usually costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Materials we deal with
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we see
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Water tanks
- Roof felt
- Soffit boards
- Panels behind heaters
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
