Have you spotted a material in your Maidenhead property that you suspect might contain asbestos? The most important thing is: please do not disturb it. Our expert team can safely take a sample, making sure no fibres are released. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, giving you a definitive result and a formal certificate. We commonly test materials such as:

• Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
• Asbestos cement products like garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters
• Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
• Pipe insulation and boiler flues
