Finding a material you think might contain asbestos can be worrying. The safest first step is always to have it professionally tested. Disturbing asbestos can release dangerous fibres into the air, posing serious health risks. Our service is designed to take that worry away. We visit your property, safely take a small sample, and get it analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory. This gives you a definitive answer without putting you or your family at risk. Whether it's for a domestic property or a commercial building, our local Haslemere team provides a prompt, discreet, and highly professional service. We help you understand exactly what you're dealing with so you can plan your next steps with confidence.

When you call Southern Asbestos for a suspected asbestos material, here’s how we make the process simple and safe for you. First, our experienced technician will arrange a convenient time to visit your Haslemere property. We arrive equipped with all the necessary safety gear and tools. Our technician will carefully isolate the area, take a small, discreet sample of the suspicious material, and then meticulously clean and seal the sampling point. We label your sample clearly and send it straight to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for detailed analysis. Once the lab confirms whether asbestos is present and, if so, what type, we’ll provide you with a clear report and certificate. This quick, professional sampling service is the cornerstone of making informed decisions about asbestos in your property.

Asbestos was a popular building material for many years, found in a surprising number of places. Our expert team regularly tests a wide range of materials in Haslemere homes and businesses. This includes common items like textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls, asbestos cement products such as garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters. We also frequently test vinyl floor tiles and their backing papers, asbestos insulating board (AIB), and materials used in pipe insulation or boiler flues. If you've spotted something you're unsure about, from an old shed roof to a suspicious looking ceiling tile, don't hesitate to get it professionally sampled.
