Common Areas Where Asbestos May Be Found in Homes
Homeowner FAQs
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating my home?
If your property was built or refurbished before 2000, it is sensible to check for asbestos before drilling, cutting, stripping out or disturbing older materials.
Can asbestos be found in domestic homes?
Yes. Asbestos may be found in textured coatings, insulation boards, garage roofs, pipe lagging, floor tiles, adhesives, soffits and other older materials.
Can you test one material only?
Yes. If you only need to confirm whether one suspected material contains asbestos, sampling and UKAS-accredited laboratory testing may be suitable.
Do you remove asbestos?
No. We provide independent surveys, sampling and reports. We are not an asbestos removal company, so there is no removal upsell.
How quickly will I receive the report?
Reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours after inspection and laboratory results, depending on the type of survey and site complexity.
What if asbestos is found?
Your report will explain what has been found, where it is located, its condition and the recommended next steps so you can make an informed decision.
