Asbestos Testing & Sampling

If you suspect a material in your Ilkeston property contains asbestos, professional testing is the only definitive way to confirm its presence. Our service is swift, safe, and accurate. We can test various materials, including Artex, ceiling and floor tiles, cement sheets on garages or roofs, soffits, fascias, and pipe lagging. A trained surveyor safely collects a sample, which is then analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, providing you with a formal certificate.

Asbestos Surveys

An asbestos survey is vital for risk management and a legal requirement for non-domestic properties built before 2000.

• Asbestos Management Surveys: Identifies and assesses accessible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in occupied buildings within Ilkeston, forming an asbestos register and management plan.
• Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys: A fully intrusive survey, mandatory before any construction, renovation, or demolition in Ilkeston. It locates all ACMs, even hidden ones, for safe removal.
• Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys: Essential for Ilkeston home buyers, revealing potential asbestos issues before purchase, allowing informed decisions and budgeting.

Asbestos Removal (Licensed & Non-Licensed)

Our core service focuses on the safe removal and disposal of all asbestos materials. We follow strict Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, leaving your Ilkeston property completely safe. We handle everything from lower-risk asbestos cement to high-risk licensable materials like insulation board. The process includes site containment, air monitoring, meticulous clean-up, and legal hazardous waste disposal. Licensable works conclude with a four-stage clearance test and reoccupation certificate.

Asbestos Encapsulation & Management

For asbestos in good condition, encapsulation – sealing the material with a specialised coating – can prevent fibre release. This can be a cost-effective long-term management solution. We also develop and maintain Asbestos Management Plans for Ilkeston businesses, assisting them in fulfilling their 'duty to manage' under CAR 2012.

Asbestos Air Testing

We provide UKAS-accredited air testing services in Ilkeston, including background, leak, reassurance, and crucial four-stage clearance testing for safe reoccupation after removal.
