Spotting asbestos can be tricky, as it often hides in plain sight within common building materials. Identifying where it is, what type it is, and its condition is always the crucial first step to keeping your home safe. Our expert surveys and testing services give you the answers you need.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Thinking of buying a property in Dorking? An asbestos survey is a smart move. It flags any potential hidden asbestos, revealing costly surprises or health risks before you commit.
• Identifying Suspicious Materials with Lab Testing: If you’ve spotted something in your home that looks like it might contain asbestos – don't touch it. Our trained team can safely take a small sample. We then send this to a UKAS-accredited lab for precise analysis, giving you a clear, official result and certificate.
• Common Materials We Test: We regularly test things like textured ceiling coatings (often called Artex), old garage roofs or wall panels made of asbestos cement, vinyl floor tiles, and pipe insulation.

Once asbestos has been identified, safe removal is often the best course of action for your Dorking home. Our highly trained team makes this complex process simple and stress-free for you. We follow rigorous safety procedures to protect your family and your property at every stage.

• Your Home, Our Priority: We carefully set up exclusion zones, use specialised equipment, and follow strict methods to contain asbestos fibres. This means we remove the hazardous materials from your property with minimum fuss, leaving your home clean and safe afterwards.
• Common Domestic Asbestos We Remove:
• Garage & Shed Roofs: Those old, corrugated cement sheets.
• Outbuildings: Panels and coverings on sheds, workshops, or utility rooms.
