About asbestos testing in GU35
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in GU35, stop and keep people away from it. A test will show whether it contains asbestos, and what to do next. Typical materials include flue pipes, panels behind heaters and soffit boards, and people normally contact us about a material damaged during DIY and single materials in rented homes between tenancies.
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we will mention them, in case you want them tested as well.
- Let us know which materials you are worried about
- You get a quote for the samples
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- We send the samples to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them

GU35: testing for homes and workplaces
Testing across GU35 covers Bordon, Pinewood Village and Whitehill and 8 villages and hamlets. Textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roofs are the most common. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across GU35, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.
Bordon: If you let property close to Liphook station, you can test a material while the property is empty. Schools such as Bordon Infant School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
After we’ve finished in GU35
A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
Options to consider in GU35
No one can confirm asbestos from a photo. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it.
Comparing quotes
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
What affects the price in GU35
The cost depends on:
- The size of the job
- Material and condition
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
GU35 questions
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if a material in GU35 contains asbestos?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
