Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and does not cover:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
