Asbestos is a serious health hazard. If disturbed, it releases microscopic fibres into the air, which can cause severe lung diseases years later. Many properties in Godalming, particularly those built or refurbished before 2000, might still contain asbestos. You can't tell if a material has asbestos just by looking at it. Professional testing is the only way to get a definitive answer. It protects your family, employees, and anyone else who uses your building, making sure you tackle any risk head-on and stay compliant with UK regulations.

Our asbestos testing service is straightforward and focuses on keeping you safe. First, our qualified and experienced technicians visit your Godalming property. They carefully take a small, non-disruptive sample of the suspect material, making sure no fibres are released during the process. We then send this sample to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This independent lab provides a precise breakdown of the material's composition, confirming whether asbestos is present and, if so, what type. You receive a clear, official certificate detailing the results, giving you complete certainty.

Asbestos was incredibly versatile, so you could find it in many different materials around your Godalming home or workplace. Our team commonly tests things like the textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls, those corrugated cement sheets you might see on old garage roofs or shed walls, and even vinyl floor tiles with their backing paper. We also frequently check asbestos insulating board (AIB) panels, pipe insulation, and old boiler flues. If you have any concerns about these or other materials, getting them tested is always the safest approach.
