• Fully Insured & Compliant: We hold comprehensive Public Liability Insurance. All our works strictly follow HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), putting your safety first.
• Certified for Waste Handling: We have a valid Waste Carriers Licence. This means all asbestos waste is handled and disposed of legally and responsibly, protecting both your property and the environment.

• Complete Project Management: From the first inspection and testing to removal, safe disposal, and even reinstatement works, we take care of the entire process for you, making it simple and stress-free.

Pinpointing the exact location, type, and condition of asbestos is the vital first step. Our thorough asbestos surveys give you all the information you need to manage any risks effectively.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An absolute must before buying a property. This survey uncovers any potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks, helping you make an informed decision.
• Management Surveys (for residential landlords): If you are a landlord in City of London, you have legal duties under CAR 2012. We identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a report and register to help you manage them safely.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning any significant building work or renovations? This intrusive survey is legally required before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work begins to prevent accidental fibre release.
• Re-inspections: We can carry out scheduled re-inspections to keep an eye on the condition of previously identified asbestos, making sure your management plan remains current and effective.

If you have found a material in your home that you suspect contains asbestos, the most important rule is: do not disturb it! Our team can safely take a sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This gives you a definitive result and a certificate, so you know exactly what you're dealing with. We regularly test materials commonly found in domestic properties like:

• Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
• Asbestos cement products (think garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, gutters)
• Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
• Pipe insulation and boiler flues
