Asbestos in Leatherhead
Leatherhead is a Surrey commuter town on the Mole, with a historic core, Victorian and Edwardian housing, interwar suburbs and mid-century research and office campuses. Its older homes, institutional buildings and 1960s-70s additions commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement garages and outbuildings.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Leatherhead properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring in Leatherhead: FAQs
Do I need a survey before refurbishing a Leatherhead property?
Yes — work that disturbs a pre-2000 Leatherhead building needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first. It identifies AIB, artex and lagging before walls come down and is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations.
What does an asbestos survey cost in Leatherhead?
A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, with single samples from £50 to £80. We confirm pricing before attending across Leatherhead and the surrounding KT postcodes.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
