If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos materials, it is essential to have them tested by a qualified asbestos testing company. Asbestos fibers are extremely hazardous when inhaled, as they can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. It is estimated that over 5,000 people die every year in the UK from asbestos-related diseases.

Without proper testing, it can be difficult to determine whether a material contains asbestos, as many ACMs look identical to other materials. For example, asbestos cement sheeting and Artex ceiling coatings were commonly used in older buildings but are now known to contain asbestos fibers. Asbestos can also be found in floor tiles, pipe insulation, ducting, boiler lagging, textured coatings and many other building materials.

Our asbestos testing services can help you identify any potential hazards in your property, allowing you to take appropriate action to manage the risks. We can carry out a thorough asbestos survey and take samples of suspected ACMs for laboratory analysis. This will enable us to provide you with a detailed report on the type, location and condition of any asbestos materials present, as well as recommendations for safe removal or containment.
