Where Asbestos is Commonly Found in Homes

Asbestos was widely used in residential construction for its durability and fire-resistant properties. It can still be present in many homes across the UK, particularly those built before 2000.

In many cases, asbestos is not dangerous if left undisturbed. However, DIY work, renovations, or damage to materials can release harmful fibres.

When Do You Need an Asbestos Survey?

Before Renovation or DIY Work

Planning to knock down a wall, replace ceilings, or carry out major home improvements?
A refurbishment asbestos survey ensures any asbestos-containing materials are identified before work begins, helping you avoid health risks and costly delays.

Buying or Selling a Property

While asbestos surveys are not always mandatory during property transactions, many buyers choose to commission one for peace of mind—especially in older homes.

Landlords & Letting Properties

Landlords have a responsibility to manage asbestos risks in communal areas of residential buildings, such as Hallways and stairwells, Basements and service areas, Roof spaces and shared facilities. We help landlords remain compliant and protect tenants.

Suspected Asbestos Materials

If you’ve come across a material that you think may contain asbestos, professional sampling and analysis can confirm whether it is safe.

Thank you very much. Really impressed with the service, wish everyone was as easy to speak to as you were. Your technician was also very helpful, easy to communicate with and understanding of the situation. Just very helpful.  He came around the corner literally like a superhero and saved the day
