You might be wondering if that old garage roof or textured ceiling has asbestos. It’s a valid question, and one you shouldn't try to answer yourself. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can release dangerous fibres into the air, putting your health and the health of those around you at serious risk. Our professional asbestos testing service removes the guesswork. We provide definitive, laboratory-verified results, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with. This essential first step protects your health, keeps your property safe, and helps you avoid costly surprises later on, especially if you’re planning renovations or a property sale.

If you suspect asbestos, the most important thing is to leave it undisturbed. Our trained and experienced technicians come directly to your Walton-On-Thames property. We follow strict HSE guidelines to safely take a small sample of the suspicious material. Each sample is then securely packaged and sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This detailed process means you get an accurate result, telling you if asbestos is present and, if so, what type. Our service is designed to be efficient, minimise disruption, and most importantly, keep you completely safe throughout the entire process.

Asbestos was used in a huge variety of building materials before the year 2000. In Walton-On-Thames, we often find it in places like corrugated cement sheets on domestic garages and sheds, which were very common for roofs and wall panels. Other frequent culprits include textured coatings like Artex on ceilings and walls, old vinyl floor tiles and their backing, asbestos insulating board (AIB) often found in partition walls, and even pipe insulation. If your property dates from before the millennium, our comprehensive sampling service can pinpoint these hidden dangers wherever they might be.
