Asbestos was widely used in building materials and consumer products until the late 1990s, when it was finally banned in the UK. However, many buildings constructed or renovated before that time may still contain asbestos products, such as:

• Asbestos cement sheets and pipes
• Textured coatings, artex, and plaster
• Vinyl or linoleum floor tiles and adhesives
• Insulation materials, such as loose-fill and sprayed asbestos
• Roofing and guttering materials, including shingles, slates, and corrugated sheets
• Boiler and furnace flues and pipes
• Electrical fuse boxes and switchgear

If you suspect that your property may have asbestos-containing materials, it is essential to have a survey or inspection done to determine the type, location, and extent of the asbestos presence. Our team can conduct a thorough asbestos survey and testing, which involves taking samples of suspected materials and sending them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Once the results are available, we can recommend the appropriate course of action, whether it is removal, encapsulation, or management.
