Many properties built or refurbished before the year 2000 could contain asbestos. It was once a common building material, hidden in things like textured ceilings, floor tiles, and garage roofs. However, you simply can't tell if a material contains asbestos just by looking at it. That's where our expert testing service comes in. We offer a crucial service for domestic and commercial clients across Chigwell, meticulously taking samples and sending them for UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis. This process ensures you get a precise answer, removing the guesswork and putting your health first.

When you call Southern Asbestos, we make the asbestos testing process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Our friendly team will arrange a convenient time for one of our experienced technicians to visit your Chigwell property. We'll safely collect a small sample of the suspicious material, making sure to minimise any disturbance. This sample is then securely transported to an independent, UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Once the results are in, usually within a few days, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive report, detailing whether asbestos is present and, if so, what type. This clear communication is part of our commitment to your safety and satisfaction.

Our professionals are trained to identify and safely sample a wide range of materials commonly found to contain asbestos. Whether you're concerned about an old garage roof, textured coatings like Artex on your ceilings or walls, vinyl floor tiles, asbestos insulating board (AIB), or even pipe insulation, we can help. Our testing service is designed to cover all non-licensed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), giving you a definitive answer on the presence and type of asbestos. Don't risk disturbing these materials yourself; let our qualified team handle it safely.
