Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry in the UK until the 1980s. It was used in a variety of building materials because of its heat-resistant properties and strength. However, long-term exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos testing is a necessary step to ensure the safety of any building, whether it is a home, office, or factory. A thorough asbestos survey and testing can identify whether any materials in your building contain asbestos. Samples are taken and sent to a UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis. Once the results are received, we can provide you with information on the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials in your building.
