If you've spotted a material in your Harpenden property that you suspect contains asbestos, the golden rule is: do not disturb it. Our team can quickly and safely take a sample, sending it off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You'll then receive a definitive result and certificate, confirming whether asbestos is present. We frequently test common materials like:
- Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement products (think garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters)
- Vinyl floor tiles and their old backing paper
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
- Various pipe insulation materials and boiler flues
