Asbestos testing in Ewhurst Green
You can’t tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, and that is what we arrange in Ewhurst Green. Whether it’s something broken during building work and lab results for contractors before they start, we cover garage roof sheets, soffit boards and panels behind heaters and more.

When will I get the result?

What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
