Sheffield, like many UK cities, has a significant number of properties built or refurbished before the year 2000. These buildings are at a higher risk of containing asbestos. However, you cannot identify asbestos just by looking at it; professional testing is the only way to be certain. Disturbed asbestos can release microscopic fibres into the air, posing serious health risks if inhaled. Our UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis ensures precise identification, crucial for protecting yourself, your family, or your employees from hazardous exposure. Whether it’s for a home renovation, a property purchase, or ensuring a commercial building meets compliance, asbestos testing is an indispensable first step.

Our trained surveyors are equipped to safely collect samples from a wide array of suspect materials commonly found in Sheffield homes and commercial premises. We can accurately test:

• Artex and other textured coatings on ceilings and walls
• Ceiling and floor tiles, including the bitumen adhesive beneath them
• Cement sheets used on garage roofs, sheds, or outbuildings
• Soffits, fascias, and guttering components
• Pipe lagging and insulation boards
• Toilet cisterns and various other building materials

No matter the material, if you have concerns, we can provide the definitive answer you need.
