Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
