Asbestos is a hazardous material, impossible to identify safely by sight alone. Attempting to test it yourself can release dangerous fibres into the air, posing significant health risks. This is precisely why professional asbestos testing is not just recommended, it’s crucial for property safety.

Upon receiving the results, we provide you with a formal certificate, clearly confirming the presence or absence of asbestos fibres, allowing you to proceed with confidence.

Asbestos was used in a vast array of building materials before its ban. Our team in Kirkby-In-Ashfield is experienced in identifying and safely sampling a wide range of common materials that may contain asbestos, including:

• Artex and other textured coatings: Often found on ceilings and walls.
• Ceiling and floor tiles: Including the adhesives used to fix them.
• Cement sheets: Commonly on garage roofs, sheds, and external wall cladding.
• Soffits, fascias, and guttering: Particularly older, cement-based rainwater goods.
• Pipe lagging and insulation boards: Found in older boiler rooms or around pipework.
• Bitumen products and toilet cisterns: Less obvious but still potential sources.

If you have any material you suspect contains asbestos, don't hesitate to let us know; we can test it.
