Many properties in North Hykeham, especially those built or refurbished before the year 2000, could potentially contain asbestos. Given its historical widespread use in construction, it's virtually impossible to determine if a material contains asbestos simply by looking at it. That's where our precise asbestos sampling comes in. We can safely test a wide array of suspect materials commonly found in local properties, including:

• Textured Coatings: Such as Artex on ceilings and walls.
• Ceiling & Floor Tiles: Including vinyl tiles and the bitumen adhesive beneath them.
• Garage & Shed Roofs: Often made from corrugated asbestos cement sheets.
• Soffits, Fascias & Guttering: Older rainwater goods frequently contained asbestos.
• Pipe Lagging & Insulation Boards: Found in boiler rooms or around heating systems.

Undisturbed asbestos generally poses minimal risk, but accidental damage or disturbance can release dangerous fibres into the air. Our service is crucial for identifying these hidden dangers before any renovation, repair, or demolition work begins, safeguarding health and preventing dangerous fibre release.
