- Clear, Upfront Pricing: We give you detailed quotes with no hidden costs. You'll know exactly what the job involves and what it will cost before we even begin.

- Experts for All Property Types: We have the skills and equipment for any size project. This goes for a small survey in a specific office area or a full site assessment for a large commercial development.
Finding out where asbestos is, what type it is, and its current state is the crucial first step. Our detailed surveys give you the information you need to manage any risk and stay within the law.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: This is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We find any ACMs, check their condition, and create a report and register. This helps you manage them safely, which is vital for compliance in the City of London.
- Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: If you plan any construction, major refurbishment, or demolition work, a legally mandated, intrusive survey must happen first. This helps avoid disturbing hidden asbestos during your project.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An important check before you buy a property. This survey flags potential hidden asbestos costs and safety concerns, giving you full peace of mind.
- Re-inspections: We can carry out regular re-inspections to keep an eye on the condition of any asbestos we've already found. This keeps your management plan current and effective.
If you come across a material you think might contain asbestos, do not touch it or try to move it yourself. Our team can safely take a sample. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You'll get a definite result and a certificate. People often ask what asbestos looks like, but it was used in over 3,000 products and is very hard to spot just by looking. It can be in corrugated cement sheets, textured coatings like Artex, old floor tiles, and insulation boards. The only way to be completely sure is through professional testing. If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, there is a good chance it contains asbestos, as it was a very common building material then.
We commonly test materials like:
- Textured coatings (Artex) on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement (often on garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, gutters)
- Vinyl floor tiles and backing paper
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues
Safe Asbestos Removal Tailored for Urban Environments
Our main service is the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from all kinds of properties. Our trained team follows very strict steps to seal off the area, remove the materials, and leave your property clean and safe. While it is not illegal for a homeowner to remove small amounts of non-licensed asbestos cement, it is extremely dangerous if you do not do it correctly. Without the right training, equipment (like PPE and RPE), and disposal methods, you risk exposing yourself and others to hazardous fibres. We always recommend using professionals. "Non-licensed" asbestos refers to materials that are lower risk and do not need a special license from the HSE to remove. Examples include asbestos cement (roofs, panels), floor tiles, and textured coatings. Remember, these materials are still hazardous and trained professionals must handle them.
- Commercial Removal: From office refurbishments to shop fit-outs in the City, we remove asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs with minimum disruption to your business.
- Industrial Removal: We manage large-scale removal of asbestos cement roofing and cladding on warehouses, factories, and agricultural buildings, ensuring a safe and efficient process.
- Domestic Removal: We expertly remove asbestos from places like garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits and fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks, even in dense urban areas.
