Asbestos Testing & Sampling in Leicester

If you suspect a material in your home contains asbestos, professional testing is the only way to be certain. Our service is fast, safe, and accurate. We commonly test materials such as Artex and other textured coatings, ceiling and floor tiles, cement sheets on garages and roofs, soffits, fascias, guttering, pipe lagging, insulation boards, bitumen adhesives, and even old toilet cisterns. Our trained surveyor safely collects a sample, which is then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You receive a formal certificate confirming the presence or absence of asbestos fibres.

Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys for Leicester Property Buyers

An essential check for anyone buying a home in Leicester. Our pre-purchase asbestos surveys identify any potential asbestos issues in a property you intend to buy. This crucial insight allows you to make an informed decision, negotiate effectively, and budget for any necessary remedial work before you commit.

Safe Asbestos Removal for Leicester Homes

Our core service is the safe removal and disposal of all asbestos materials from domestic properties. We follow strict Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines to ensure your property is left completely safe. Our removal services cover:

• Asbestos Garage Roof Removal: Our most common domestic job. We safely dismantle and dispose of corrugated cement roofs and can arrange for a modern, non-asbestos replacement for your Leicester garage.
• Artex & Textured Coating Removal: We test and safely remove asbestos-containing textured coatings from ceilings and walls, preparing the surface for replastering.
• Floor & Ceiling Tile Removal: We handle the removal of asbestos-containing vinyl tiles, floor tiles, and the bitumen adhesive used to stick them down.
• Soffits, Fascias & Guttering: We safely remove and replace old asbestos cement rainwater goods.
• Internal Asbestos Removal: We can remove asbestos insulation board (AIB), pipe lagging, and panels from inside your home.

Our process includes full site containment, meticulous clean-up, and managing the legal transportation and disposal of all hazardous waste with full documentation, including waste consignment notes.

Emergency Asbestos Response in Leicester

If you've accidentally disturbed a material you think contains asbestos, call us immediately on 01522 459494. We provide an emergency response to contain the area and make it safe, minimising risk to your family.

Asbestos Encapsulation & Management Options

In some situations, if asbestos is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, it can be encapsulated rather than removed. This involves sealing the material with a specialised coating to prevent fibre release. We can advise if this cost-effective solution is suitable for the long-term management of asbestos in your Leicester home.
