We can test pretty much any material, but some common ones we check include:

• Pipe lagging and insulation boards
• Bitumen adhesives and even old toilet cisterns
  Our process is simple: a trained surveyor safely takes a small sample, which then goes off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. We then give you a formal certificate confirming if asbestos fibres are there or not.

An asbestos survey is super important for several reasons. If your home or business in Lincoln was built before 2000, there’s a good chance it contains asbestos. A survey finds exactly where it is, what type it is, and its condition. For businesses and landlords, it's also a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to protect staff and visitors. For homeowners, it gives you peace of mind before any renovations or just for general safety.

We offer a few main types of asbestos surveys specifically tailored to your needs here in Lincolnshire and the wider East Midlands. Our most common is the Asbestos Management Survey, which is perfect for properties that are currently in use. We also carry out Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys, which are fully intrusive and a must-have before any construction or demolition work starts. If you're buying a house, our Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys can highlight any issues before you commit.

Absolutely, yes! When we collect samples during your asbestos survey in Lincoln, they are always sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This means you get results that are not just accurate, but also legally recognised and completely trustworthy. It’s part of our commitment to providing a truly professional and reliable service.

Yes, we certainly do! Whether it's your family home in Lincoln or a large commercial property, we have the expertise to conduct the right asbestos survey for you. For homes, we operate as Asbestos In Homes, offering straightforward and reassuring service. For commercial clients, we use our registered company, BESA PROPERTY SERVICES LTD, delivering thorough and compliant surveys to businesses and landlords.

Once we've completed the asbestos survey and received the lab results, we provide you with a detailed report. This report will clearly identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess their condition, and give you recommendations on how to manage them. For commercial properties, this forms the basis of your Asbestos Register and Management Plan, helping you meet your legal "duty to manage." For homes, it simply tells you exactly what you have and what, if anything, needs to be done.

If you suspect a material contains asbestos, the only way to be certain is through professional testing. Our service is fast, safe, and accurate.
We can test any material you're worried about, but common ones include:

• Artex and other textured coatings
• Ceiling and floor tiles
• Cement sheets on garages and roofs
• Soffits, fascias, and guttering
• Pipe lagging and insulation boards
• Bitumen adhesives and toilet cisterns
  Our process is simple: a trained surveyor safely collects a small sample. This goes straight to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You'll then get a formal certificate confirming whether asbestos fibres are present or not.

If your property, whether a home or business, was built before the year 2000, it might contain asbestos. A survey is crucial. For homes, especially if you're buying or planning renovations, a pre-purchase or refurbishment survey pinpoints any hidden risks. For commercial properties, a management survey is a legal must to meet your "duty to manage" asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We carry out asbestos surveys in Lincoln and across the whole East Midlands.

Absolutely. Asbestos In Homes specialises in domestic asbestos removal, tackling common issues like Artex removal, old garage roof asbestos, and floor tiles. For businesses, landlords, and larger projects, our commercial arm, BESA PROPERTY SERVICES LTD, provides comprehensive commercial asbestos solutions, from offices in Nottingham to factories in Leicester. We cover the entire East Midlands for all types of asbestos removal.

The distinction comes down to risk. Non-licensed asbestos removal typically involves materials where fibres are less likely to become airborne, like asbestos cement sheets. Licensed asbestos removal applies to higher-risk, more friable materials, such as asbestos insulation board or pipe lagging, which demand stricter controls and an HSE-licensed contractor. We are fully qualified and equipped for both licensed asbestos removal and non-licensed tasks, making sure every job is done safely and legally.

For any non-domestic property built before 2000, you have a legal "duty to manage" asbestos. We help you fulfil this duty through a full asbestos management service. This includes conducting management surveys, creating an asbestos register, developing a clear management plan, and offering re-inspection services. We ensure your business in Lincoln, Derby, or anywhere in the East Midlands stays compliant and your staff stay safe.

Yes, garage roof asbestos removal is one of our most frequent jobs for homeowners across Nottingham, Lincoln, and the East Midlands. We'll safely remove and dispose of the asbestos cement roof panels according to all regulations. While our primary focus is safe asbestos removal, we can definitely advise on suitable, modern, non-asbestos replacement options to help you get your garage back in shape.
