What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. A test tells you which.
Choosing the right option
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
