Knowing if asbestos is present, what type it is, and its condition is the absolutely crucial first step. Our thorough asbestos surveys give you all the information you need to manage any risks and comply with the law. If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, there's a good chance it could contain asbestos, as it was a very common building material for decades.
For anyone buying a new home, our Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys are an essential check. They uncover potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks before you commit. If you own or manage a non-domestic property, a Management Survey is a legal requirement. We identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a report and register to help you manage them safely. Planning any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work? Then you'll need a legally mandated, intrusive Refurbishment & Demolition Survey before work can even begin. And for ongoing safety, we can carry out scheduled Re-inspections to monitor the condition of previously identified asbestos, making sure your management plan stays completely up to date.

If you've spotted a material in your home or business that you think might contain asbestos, the most important thing is: do not disturb it. Trying to remove or sample it yourself can release dangerous fibres into the air. Instead, our team can safely take a sample for you. We then send it off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, which gives you a definitive result and a certificate for your records. This isn't a DIY asbestos testing kit; it's a professional sampling and lab analysis service designed to give you peace of mind without putting you at risk.
We commonly test materials such as:

• Textured coatings (like Artex) on ceilings and walls
• Asbestos cement, often found in garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters
• Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
• Pipe insulation and boiler flues
  Asbestos can be very difficult to identify just by looking at it, as it was used in over 3,000 different products. Professional testing is the only way to be 100% sure.

Our main service is the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from all kinds of properties. Our highly trained team follows strict procedures to properly contain the area, remove the materials, and leave your property clean and safe. While it's not illegal for a homeowner to remove very small amounts of non-licensed asbestos cement, it’s extremely hazardous if you don't do it correctly. Without the right training, specialist equipment (like PPE and RPE), and proper disposal methods, you risk exposing yourself and others to dangerous fibres. We always recommend using a professional service like ours.

• Domestic Removal: We specialise in removing asbestos from Hertford garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits and fascias, old floor tiles, and cement water tanks.
• Commercial Removal: From office refurbishments to retail fit-outs, we safely remove asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs with minimal disruption to your daily operations.
