About our asbestos testing in East Worldham
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. From boiler cupboard panels and something broken during building work, we deal with panels behind heaters, soffit boards and garage roof sheets.
Village homes in areas like East Worldham often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.
