4. We prioritise your safety

Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems. We take safety seriously and ensure that our team follows all HSE regulations when testing for asbestos. We'll also provide you with guidance on how to manage any ACMs that we find.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been widely used in construction materials such as insulation, ceiling and floor tiles, roofing, and cement. Asbestos was popular in the UK until the 1980s due to its strength, durability, and heat resistance.

However, it was later discovered that inhaling asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos is now banned in many countries, including the UK.

Why Test for Asbestos?

Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems if not handled correctly. Testing for asbestos is essential to identify any potential ACMs in your property or materials. Once identified, you can take the necessary steps to manage or remove the asbestos safely.
