Asbestos might not always be visible, but its presence carries serious health risks if disturbed. Fibres can become airborne and, when inhaled, lead to severe lung diseases like mesothelioma and asbestosis years down the line. That's why ignoring suspected asbestos or trying to handle it yourself simply isn't an option. You need qualified, experienced professionals who understand the material, its risks, and the strict safety protocols. We provide a service that protects your health, keeps your building safe, and ensures you meet all legal requirements. Trusting us means peace of mind, knowing that your property and everyone in it are genuinely safe from this hidden danger.

Identifying where asbestos is, what type it is, and its condition is always the first, most important step. Our thorough asbestos surveys give you the clear information you need to manage any risk and stick to the law.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Essential before you buy a property. We pinpoint potential hidden asbestos costs and safety issues, so you know exactly what you're getting into.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: A legal must for most non-domestic properties. We find any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), check their condition, and create a report and register. This helps you manage them safely, keeping your property compliant under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: If you’re planning any building work, this intrusive survey is legally required before starting. It makes sure no asbestos gets disturbed during construction, refurbishment, or demolition, protecting everyone on site.
• Re-inspections: We can carry out regular re-inspections to monitor the condition of asbestos we've already identified. This keeps your management plan current and effective.

If you come across a material you think might contain asbestos, the most important thing is not to touch it. Our team can safely take a sample, making sure no fibres get released. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, which gives you a definitive result and an official certificate. This way, you get a clear answer and can then make informed decisions. We often test materials like:

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