Asbestos Testing & Sampling

If you suspect any material contains asbestos, professional testing is the only way to be certain. Our fast, safe, and accurate service includes:

  • Safe Collection: A trained surveyor collects samples without risk.
  • UKAS-Accredited Analysis: Samples are sent to UKAS-accredited laboratories for precise results.
  • Formal Certification: You receive a certificate confirming asbestos presence or absence.
    Common materials we test include Artex and other textured coatings, garage roofs (cement sheets), ceiling and floor tiles, soffits, pipe lagging, insulation boards, and bitumen adhesives.

Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys

For homeowners buying property in Ilkeston, our pre-purchase surveys are crucial. We identify any potential asbestos issues, empowering you to make informed decisions about your purchase and budget for any necessary abatement or removal works.

Our core service is the safe, fully licensed removal and disposal of all domestic asbestos materials. We specialise in:

  • Asbestos Garage Roof Removal: Safely dismantling and disposing of corrugated cement roofs, with options for modern, non-asbestos replacements.

Asbestos Encapsulation & Management

Recognising asbestos risks, avoiding DIY hazards

Many homeowners ask how to identify asbestos. The truth is, you cannot tell if a material contains asbestos just by looking at it; only professional laboratory testing can confirm its presence. If your Ilkeston home was built or refurbished before the year 2000, it's safest to assume asbestos might be present until proven otherwise, and crucially, avoid disturbing any suspect materials.

We strongly advise against attempting DIY asbestos removal. Asbestos is a hazardous material, and disturbing it without the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), and specialised containment measures can release dangerous fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to severe, life-threatening diseases such as Mesothelioma, Asbestosis, and Lung Cancer. Furthermore, illegal disposal of asbestos waste in domestic bins carries significant legal implications. While the thought of asbestos can be stressful and anxious, Asbestos In Homes offers a reassuring, expert solution, protecting your health and avoiding legal pitfalls.
