If you’ve found a material you suspect contains asbestos in your Basingstoke property, the most important thing is to not disturb it. Getting it tested is the only way to know for sure. Our asbestos testing service gives you definitive answers, allowing you to make informed decisions about your property’s safety.
Our process is straightforward and safe:

1. Safe Sample Collection: Our trained professionals will carefully take a small sample of the suspicious material, using strict procedures to minimise any fibre release.
2. UKAS-Accredited Laboratory Analysis: We send your sample to an independent, UKAS-accredited laboratory. This ensures the analysis is performed to the highest industry standards.
3. Clear, Definitive Results: You'll receive a detailed report confirming whether asbestos is present, what type it is, and a certificate for your records.
   We regularly test materials common in Basingstoke properties, including:

• Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
• Asbestos cement products found on garage roofs, outbuilding wall panels, soffits, and gutters
• Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB), often used in fireproofing or partition walls
• Pipe insulation and old boiler flues
  This service is crucial for anyone in Basingstoke unsure about materials in their home or business. Don't take chances; get it tested today.

Knowing exactly where asbestos might be, what type it is, and its condition is the absolutely vital first step in managing it safely. Our comprehensive asbestos surveys provide you with all the information you need, whether you’re buying a new home, managing a commercial property, or planning renovations in Basingstoke.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a property is a big step. Our survey helps identify any potential hidden asbestos, saving you from unexpected costs or safety risks down the line. It's a smart check to add to your property purchase.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: If you own or manage a non-domestic property, this survey is a legal necessity. We'll identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess their condition, and create a clear report and register. This helps you actively manage any risks and meet your legal duties under CAR 2012.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning any building work, big or small? This legally mandated, intrusive survey must happen before any refurbishment or demolition begins. It uncovers all asbestos that might be disturbed, keeping your project safe and compliant.
• Re-inspections & Management Plans: For properties with identified asbestos, we can carry out scheduled re-inspections. This monitors the material's condition over time, keeping your asbestos management plan accurate and effective.
