Asbestos was a highly valued building material until the late 1990s, used widely for its strength, insulation, and fire-resistant properties. This means if your property was built or significantly renovated before 2000, there's a good chance it contains asbestos. Disturbing these materials can release microscopic fibres into the air, posing serious health risks if inhaled. From garage roofs and textured ceiling coatings to pipe insulation and floor tiles, asbestos can be hidden in many places. Knowing if you have it, where it is, and its condition is the first crucial step to protecting everyone in your building and meeting your legal responsibilities. We provide qualified surveying and management to keep your property safe.

Identifying asbestos accurately is critical for safety and compliance. We offer a full range of comprehensive asbestos surveys, tailored to your specific needs in Addlestone.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a new home? Our survey identifies any hidden asbestos, giving you a clear picture of potential costs and safety concerns before you commit.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: For commercial properties, this is a legal requirement. We locate asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess their condition, and create a detailed report and register. This helps you manage asbestos risks effectively without necessarily removing it straight away.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning major building work? This intrusive survey is legally essential before any refurbishment or demolition begins. It finds all asbestos, even hidden materials, to protect workers and prevent contamination.
• Re-inspection Services: If you already have an asbestos register, we can carry out regular re-inspections. This monitors the condition of identified asbestos, keeping your management plan current and effective.

Found something you suspect might be asbestos? The most important thing is to leave it undisturbed. Our team can safely take a sample from the suspected material. We then send this sample to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for expert analysis. You'll receive a definitive result and a certificate, confirming whether asbestos is present. We commonly test materials such as textured coatings like Artex, asbestos cement found in garage roofs and panels, vinyl floor tiles, asbestos insulating board (AIB), and various pipe or boiler insulation materials. Don't guess – get it tested for absolute clarity.
