When you find a material you think might be asbestos, it is natural to feel worried. Disturbance can release harmful fibres into the air, posing serious health risks. That is why professional sampling is absolutely essential. We offer a safe, reliable, and transparent service from the very first phone call. Our trained technicians have years of experience identifying and safely sampling asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a huge variety of domestic and commercial properties. We hold full Public Liability Insurance, and all our work follows strict HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). Trust us to give you clear answers without any fuss.

If you have found a material you suspect contains asbestos, the most important thing is not to touch or disturb it. That is where we come in. Our team will visit your property in Thame at a convenient time. We carefully take small, representative samples of the suspicious material using specialised techniques to minimise any fibre release. We then securely package these samples and send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You will receive a definitive result and a certificate, telling you exactly what the material contains. This clear information empowers you to make informed decisions about managing any identified asbestos.

Asbestos was used in thousands of building products right up until its ban in 2000, meaning many properties in Thame built before this date could contain it. It can be incredibly difficult to identify by sight alone. We regularly test materials like: textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls, asbestos cement products such as garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters. We also frequently test vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper, asbestos insulating board (AIB), and old pipe insulation or boiler flues. If you are unsure about any material, get it tested professionally.
