What we deal with in Wrecclesham
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. Testing first avoids that.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Results builders ask for before work
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Boiler cupboard panels
- A material damaged during DIY
If you’re a letting agent with homes near Farnham station, you can test a material while the property is empty.

Wrecclesham questions
Do you cover Wrecclesham and the area around Farnham station?
Yes, we cover Wrecclesham and the area towards Farnham station, about 1.5 miles north-east.
How far is Wrecclesham from London?
We cover Wrecclesham, about 38 miles from central London.
How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you’re planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
How do I know if a material in Wrecclesham contains asbestos?
Not by looking: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Do I need more than one sample?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. We will recommend a number once we know more.
The process
We seal the sample point with a suitable sealant or tape, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Let us know which materials you’re worried about
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Good to know
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Do not touch it before we arrive
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- File the result with your property paperwork
What to avoid
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Test before booking the builders, so there’s no delay later.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Which option is right?
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
