Asbestos Testing & Sampling
If you suspect any material in your Chesterfield home contains asbestos, professional testing is the definitive answer. We safely collect samples from common materials like Artex, textured coatings, garage roofs (cement sheets), floor tiles, soffits, and pipe lagging. Samples are then analysed by UKAS-accredited laboratories, providing you with an accurate certificate confirming asbestos presence or absence.
Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys
For those looking to buy a home in Chesterfield, a Pre-Purchase Asbestos Survey is invaluable. This survey identifies potential asbestos issues before you commit, allowing you to make an informed decision and budget for any necessary remedial work.
Safe Asbestos Removal
Our core service is the safe, compliant removal of all types of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from your home. We meticulously follow Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines to ensure your property is left completely safe. Our removal services often cover:
- Asbestos Garage Roof Removal: Safely dismantling and disposing of corrugated cement roofs, with options for modern, non-asbestos replacements.
- Artex & Textured Coating Removal: Expert removal of asbestos-containing textured coatings from ceilings and walls, preparing surfaces for replastering.
- Floor & Ceiling Tile Removal: Handling asbestos-containing vinyl tiles, floor tiles, and the bitumen adhesive used underneath.
- Soffits, Fascias & Guttering: Safe removal and replacement of old asbestos cement rainwater goods.
- Internal Asbestos Removal: Dealing with Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB), pipe lagging, and panels inside your home.
Emergency Call-Outs

Asbestos Encapsulation & Management
In some cases, if asbestos is in good condition and undisturbed, encapsulation (sealing it with a specialised coating) can be a cost-effective management solution. We can advise if this is a suitable option for your Chesterfield property.

Common Asbestos Questions for Homeowners
Understanding asbestos can be confusing, so we've addressed some frequent homeowner questions.
Q: How can I tell if a material contains asbestos?
A: You cannot identify asbestos simply by looking at it. Only professional testing in a UKAS-accredited laboratory can confirm its presence. If your Chesterfield home was built or refurbished before the year 2000, it is always safest to assume asbestos might be present in suspect materials and avoid disturbing them until tested.
Q: Is it safe to remove asbestos myself?
A: We strongly advise against any DIY asbestos removal. Asbestos is a highly hazardous material. Without proper training, specialised Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), and controlled containment, you risk releasing dangerous fibres. Inhaling these fibres can lead to serious health conditions like Mesothelioma, Asbestosis, and Lung Cancer. Incorrect disposal also carries significant legal implications.
Q: I'm worried about finding asbestos. What should I do?
A: It's natural to feel anxious. The most crucial step is not to disturb the material. Then, contact Asbestos In Homes. Our friendly team offers free advice and can guide you through the next steps, making the process as straightforward and reassuring as possible for your Chesterfield home.
