When asbestos fibres get into the air, they can cause severe lung diseases. Many properties, particularly those built between the 1950s and 1990s, used asbestos extensively in common building materials like textured ceilings, garage roofs, and floor tiles. You can't tell if something contains asbestos just by looking at it. That's why professional asbestos testing is so important. We take the guesswork out, helping you understand if asbestos is present, what type it is, and what you need to do next. Protecting your health and the health of those around you starts with knowing what you're dealing with.

If you suspect asbestos in your Warlingham home or workplace, the golden rule is: do not touch it. Disturbing asbestos can release dangerous fibres. Our trained technicians know exactly how to safely take samples from suspect materials. We work meticulously to minimise any fibre release during the sampling process. Every sample we collect then goes to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for thorough analysis. This accreditation means their results are accurate and dependable. You'll receive a detailed report and certificate, clearly showing whether asbestos is present and, if so, which type.

Over the years, our experienced team has carried out extensive asbestos testing across many domestic and commercial properties in the Warlingham area. We often find asbestos in materials such as:

• Textured coatings: Commonly known as Artex, found on ceilings and walls.
• Asbestos cement: Very common in garage roofs, shed panels, downpipes, and soffits.
• Floor tiles: Vinyl or thermoplastic tiles and their associated backing paper.
• Insulating board (AIB): Used for fire protection, partitions, and ceiling tiles.
• Pipe insulation: Lagging around old water pipes and boilers.
  If you recognise any of these in your property, our sampling service will provide the clarity you need.
