About our asbestos testing in Stubb's Cross
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Stubb's Cross? A sample test gives you an answer. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. From Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we cover flue pipes, panels behind heaters and black adhesive and more.
Village homes in places like Stubb's Cross often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.
