If your home was built or saw major renovations before the year 2000, there's a good chance it might contain asbestos. It was a very common building material for decades, valued for its strength and fire resistance. However, when disturbed, it can release tiny fibres that pose serious health risks. It's often found in places like:
- Garage and shed roofs: Corrugated cement sheets are a classic example.
- Ceilings and walls: Textured coatings, famously Artex, often contain asbestos.
- Flooring: Old vinyl floor tiles and the backing paper can hide asbestos.
- Pipes and boilers: Insulation around these areas might contain it.
- Soffits and fascias: Boards found on the exterior of your roofline.
The most important thing to remember is: if you suspect a material contains asbestos, do not disturb it. Moving or breaking it can release those dangerous fibres. The only way to be 100% sure is through professional testing.
Spotting a material you think might contain asbestos means you shouldn't touch it. Our team can safely take a sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You'll get a definitive result and a certificate, giving you clarity and helping you make informed decisions. We offer:
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An essential check before buying a property. This identifies potential hidden asbestos costs and any safety risks, helping you buy with confidence.
- Targeted Asbestos Testing: If you have one specific material you're worried about, we can sample just that item to confirm if asbestos is present.
