Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
