Identifying the presence, type, and condition of asbestos is the crucial first step to managing it safely. Our comprehensive surveys give you the information you need to protect your home and loved ones. If your Harpenden home was built or had major refurbishments before the year 2000, there's a real chance it could contain asbestos. It was a very common building material, especially from the 1950s to the 1990s. Asbestos comes in over 3,000 products and can be very tricky to spot just by looking. It often hides in corrugated cement sheets (think garage roofs), textured coatings like Artex on ceilings, old vinyl floor tiles, and various insulation boards. The only definitive way to confirm its presence is through professional testing. If you suspect you've found asbestos, do not touch it. Our team can safely take a sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, giving you a clear, certified result. We often test:

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

Our main service involves the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from all types of domestic properties in Harpenden. Our trained team follows strict procedures to contain the work area, carefully remove the materials, and leave your property clean and safe. While it's not strictly illegal for a homeowner to remove small amounts of non-licensed asbestos cement themselves, it's incredibly risky without the right training, equipment (like PPE and respirators), and proper disposal methods. Doing it yourself risks exposing you and your family to dangerous fibres. We always recommend using professionals. "Non-licensed" asbestos simply refers to materials that are considered lower risk and don't require a special licence from the HSE for removal, such as asbestos cement, floor tiles, and textured coatings. However, these materials are still hazardous and always need handling by trained experts. We specialise in removing asbestos from garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits, fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks in homes across Harpenden.
