ASBESTOS TESTING IN LANGLEY

Common Places We Find Asbestos in Rickmansworth Properties

Asbestos was a popular building material before 2000, meaning many older properties in Rickmansworth could still contain it. Our team commonly tests materials from:

  • Textured coatings: Think Artex on ceilings and walls.
  • Asbestos cement: This often turns up in garage roofs, shed panels, soffits, fascias, and drainpipes.
  • Vinyl floor tiles: And sometimes the backing paper underneath them.
  • Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB): Found in ceiling tiles, partition walls, and fireproofing panels.
  • Pipe insulation: Lagging around old pipes and boiler flues.
  • Roofing felts and sealants: Sometimes present in older flat roofs.
    If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, it's always wise to get suspicious materials tested.

Used Southern Asbestos to remove old Artex ceilings from our home in Maidenhead before a big renovation. The team was punctual, tidy, and took every precaution to ensure the area was safe. They left the site spotless. A very professional and trustworthy company.

Fantastic service. We had some old asbestos floor tiles that needed removing. The team was fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They handled all the waste disposal and provided the consignment note as promised. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
