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

Many heating systems in commercial premises still have asbestos-containing pipe insulation, requiring professional testing to confirm its presence.

Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB)

Asbestos Insulation Board was a common building material, found in both homes and businesses, typically used in garages, loft spaces, and for fire protection in doors and walls.

Electric Meter Backboard

Asbestos-backed electric meter panels were a standard feature in older properties, offering heat resistance but posing a hazard if disturbed.


Artex / Popcorn Ceilings and Walls (Textured Coating)

Decorative textured coatings like Artex and popcorn finishes can still be found in both commercial and residential properties today.

Cement

Cement containing asbestos was widely manufactured, particularly for use in garage roofs, cowls, and heating or water pipes.

Floor Tiles

Many businesses and households once relied on asbestos tiles, as they were affordable, long-lasting, and resistant to fire and moisture.

Vermiculite

Many properties built before the 1990s have vermiculite insulation in lofts and wall cavities, some of which may include asbestos.

Felt Roofing

Older roofing felts used on garages and garden sheds may contain asbestos, particularly in properties built before the 1990s.

Soffits

Asbestos-based soffits were a standard feature in both domestic and business properties before safer alternatives were introduced.
