We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Records for your files
- Condition assessed for every material
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
Things not to do
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
