When you find a material you think might contain asbestos, your immediate priority should be safety. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can release dangerous fibres into the air, posing serious health risks if inhaled. Unlike a simple DIY testing kit, our service ensures a trained expert, fully equipped with the correct protective gear, carefully takes samples without compromising safety. Protecting your health and the health of others is paramount, making professional sampling the only safe choice.

Our core service involves professional asbestos sampling. If you have identified a suspicious material – perhaps a ceiling tile, floor covering, or insulation – our team will visit your Westminster property. We meticulously carry out the sampling process, ensuring minimal disturbance to the material and containment of any potential fibres. This careful approach is crucial for safety. We then securely package the samples and send them for comprehensive analysis at a UKAS-accredited laboratory. This service is a vital step in any asbestos management plan, providing peace of mind through a robust and compliant process.

Asbestos was a widely used building material across London until its ban in 2000. This means if your Westminster property was built or refurbished before then, there's a chance it contains asbestos. We commonly test materials such as textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls, vinyl floor tiles and their backing, asbestos cement found in old garage roofs or sheds, and asbestos insulating board (AIB) in partition walls or soffits. Our extensive experience means we know almost all the usual suspects, and the less obvious ones too, in domestic and commercial settings.
