Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Partridge Green questions
Could my house in Partridge Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Partridge Green from London?
We cover Partridge Green, about 38 miles from central London.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
