• We are experts for homes, businesses, and industrial sites. We have the right skills and equipment for any size project, whether it's just one asbestos sheet in a garden shed or a full site survey for a large factory.

Pinpointing exactly where, what kind, and what condition asbestos is in forms the crucial first step. Our thorough surveys give you all the information you need to handle any risks and keep you on the right side of the law.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a new home in Hatfield? This survey is a must-have check. It uncovers any hidden asbestos costs or potential safety issues before you commit.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: If you own a non-domestic property, this is a legal requirement. We find any asbestos materials, check their condition, and put together a clear report and register so you can manage them safely.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning any building work, big or small? This legally required, more intrusive survey must happen before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition begins. It keeps everyone safe.
• Re-inspections: We also offer scheduled re-inspections. This helps us keep an eye on asbestos we've already found, making sure your management plan always stays current and effective.

If you've come across a material you think might contain asbestos, the most important thing is: do not touch it. Our team can safely take a sample for you. We send it straight to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, and you'll get a clear, definite result with a certificate. We frequently test materials like these:

• Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
• Asbestos cement, commonly found 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
