Asbestos Testing & Sampling

If you suspect a material in your Wirksworth home contains asbestos, professional testing is the only way to be certain. Our service is fast, safe, and accurate. We can test any suspect material, but common ones in homes include:

• Artex and other textured coatings on ceilings or walls
• Ceiling and floor tiles, including vinyl tiles and bitumen adhesives
• Cement sheets often found on garage roofs and sheds
• Soffits, fascias, and guttering
• Pipe lagging and insulation boards

Our process is simple: a trained surveyor safely collects a small 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, allowing you to make informed decisions about your property.

Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys

For those considering buying a property in Wirksworth, a Pre-Purchase Asbestos Survey is an essential check. This survey identifies any potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) before you commit, allowing you to make an informed purchasing decision and budget for any necessary remedial work. It provides crucial peace of mind for your future home.

Safe Asbestos Removal

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

• Asbestos Garage Roof Removal: Our most common domestic job in Wirksworth. We safely dismantle and dispose of corrugated cement roofs and can often arrange for a modern, non-asbestos replacement.
• 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 careful removal of asbestos-containing vinyl tiles, floor tiles, and the bitumen adhesive used to secure them.
• Soffits, Fascias & Guttering: We safely remove and replace old asbestos cement rainwater goods.
• Internal Asbestos Removal: This includes asbestos insulation board (AIB), pipe lagging, and panels from inside your home, ensuring your living spaces are free from risk.

The process includes full site containment, thorough clean-up, and managing the legal transportation and disposal of all hazardous waste with full documentation, including waste consignment notes. For higher-risk materials, we conduct comprehensive air monitoring and provide a reoccupation certificate.
