Any type of material can be tested for asbestos. Whether you need something in your house testing or need a commercial building material tested - we can sample and test it all!
Below are some examples of what we can take samples of and test for asbestos >>>
Pipe Lagging
Asbestos lagging was a common insulation material for heating pipes in commercial buildings, particularly in systems installed before the asbestos ban.
Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB)
Asbestos Insulation Board was a go-to material for fire safety, frequently used in garages, boiler rooms, loft voids, and fire doors within both residential and commercial spaces.
Electric Meter Backboard
The back panel of many electric meters, particularly in older buildings, was made from asbestos due to its fire-resistant qualities.
Artex / Popcorn Ceilings and Walls (Textured Coating)
Older homes and workplaces may still have Artex or popcorn coatings, which were widely used to add texture to ceilings and walls.
Cement
sbestos-reinforced cement was a popular choice for industrial and domestic buildings, often appearing in roofs, pipes, and external drainage systems.
Floor Tiles
Older flooring in homes and workplaces may contain asbestos, particularly in vinyl or composite tiles used before asbestos regulations changed.
Vermiculite
Insulation made from vermiculite was often installed in attics and voids, but some products were contaminated with asbestos.
Felt Roofing
Asbestos was sometimes used in felt roofing materials, making older garage and shed roofs a potential risk if disturbed.
Soffits
Asbestos-containing soffits were frequently installed in both residential and commercial properties to enhance fire resistance.

Common questions about Asbestos Surveys in Alfreton
How long do the test results take?
24-48 working hours from when we take the sample.
Can you take samples from a house I plan to but that's not mine yet?
We can yes! All we do is contact the estate agents or homeowner and arrange a time to access the property. Most homeowners do not object to asbestos testing being carried out.
Can you tell if something contains asbestos from a photo?
No. We can give you an idea of whether we suspect asbestos , but we cannot give you an accurate answer from a photo. No one can! The only sure way to tell if something contains asbestos is by having a sample analysed by a UKAS Laboratory.
Do I legally need an Asbestos Survey?
For non-domestic properties built before the year 1999 - yes you legally need an asbestos survey.
Any property built before 1999 (including domestic) which is due to undergo major refurbishments or demolition also is legally required to have an asbestos survey.
Domestic property owners are not legally required to have an asbestos survey.

When a material containing asbestos is disturbed , it releases these tiny (invisible to the eye) fibres into the air. These fibres can be inhaled without you knowing - hence the name "Asbestos , the silent killer".
