You might be looking at an old garage roof, textured ceiling, or some floor tiles, wondering if they contain asbestos. Trying to test or remove materials yourself without the right knowledge and equipment is incredibly risky. Disturbing asbestos can release dangerous fibres into the air, which pose serious health risks if inhaled. Our service means you avoid this danger. We come to you, safely collect samples, and arrange expert laboratory analysis. This protects your health, your family, and anyone else who might come into contact with the material. It’s the safest way to get the definitive answer you need.

Getting your property tested for asbestos with Southern Asbestos is simple and stress-free. First, you get in touch, and we’ll chat through your concerns and offer a free, no-obligation quote. Once you’re happy, our local, trained asbestos surveyor will visit your Hoddesdon property at a time that suits you. They’ll carefully take small, representative samples of any suspicious materials. We then securely package these samples and send them off to an independent, UKAS-accredited laboratory for thorough analysis. You’ll quickly receive a clear, easy-to-understand report confirming whether asbestos is present and, if so, what type.

Asbestos was used extensively in building materials before the year 2000, meaning many Hoddesdon properties could still contain it. Our team is well-versed in identifying and safely sampling these common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This often includes textured coatings, like old Artex on ceilings and walls, asbestos cement sheets commonly found in garages, sheds, or outbuildings, older vinyl floor tiles and their backing, asbestos insulating board (AIB) in partition walls or soffits, and even pipe insulation or boiler flues. Don't touch it if you suspect it – let us test it safely.
