About our asbestos testing in Wormley
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in Wormley and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Whether it’s debris found after DIY and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with floor tiles, black adhesive and textured ceilings.
Rural properties near Wormley may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Materials we deal with
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

FAQs for Wormley
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Wormley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.

Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
