Types of material we test for asbestos
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
To prevent heat loss, many commercial properties used asbestos-lagged pipes, but these materials can be hazardous if damaged or deteriorating.
Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB)
AIB panels were once a standard fireproofing solution, often found in garage ceilings, behind heating systems, and as an insulating layer in loft spaces and fire doors.
Electric Meter Backboard
Before asbestos regulations changed, electric meter backboards were commonly made from asbestos-based materials to reduce fire risk.
Artex / Popcorn Ceilings and Walls (Textured Coating)
Ceilings and walls in many pre-2000 buildings may have textured coatings such as Artex, which was once a common decorative material.
Cement
Many agricultural and industrial structures have asbestos cement in their roofs, wall cladding, and water or heating pipes.
Floor Tiles
Common in pre-2000 construction, asbestos floor tiles can still be found in residential and commercial buildings today.
Vermiculite
Loft spaces and cavity walls in older buildings may still contain vermiculite insulation, which has been linked to asbestos contamination.
Felt Roofing
Sheds, outbuildings, and detached garages may still have original felt roofing that contains asbestos, requiring professional assessment.
Soffits
In properties built before asbestos restrictions, soffits were sometimes manufactured with asbestos for added durability.
