Common materials
Where it is found
Garage roofs
Corrugated asbestos cement was the standard roof for garages, sheds and outbuildings for decades. It turns brittle with age, so it should never be drilled, cut, walked on or jet washed.
Artex ceilings
Textured coatings on ceilings and walls often contained white asbestos until the mid 1980s.
Bitumen floor tiles
Old thermoplastic tiles and the black adhesive beneath them, often found under carpets.
Asbestos cement sheets
Flat and profiled sheets used for wall cladding, partitions, flues and outbuildings.
Boiler and pipe insulation
Lagging on old pipes and boilers crumbles easily, which makes it one of the higher risk materials.
Fascias, soffits and gutters
Soffit boards, fascias, gutters and downpipes were often made from asbestos cement or insulating board. Have them checked before any roofline or guttering work is booked.

I think I have found asbestos. What should I do?
Do not disturb it, and get in touch. We will arrange a survey to find out what type it is, what condition it is in and what risk it poses. In most cases the risk is minimal.
Where is asbestos usually found?
Typical asbestos-containing materials include garage roofs, Artex ceilings, bitumen floor tiles, cement sheets, boiler and pipe insulation, and fascias, soffits and gutters. Most premises built before 2000 contain asbestos in one form or another.
Do you work in homes as well as commercial buildings?
Yes. We work for homeowners, businesses and the public sector, in homes, offices, schools and other public buildings.
How do you test for asbestos?
We take samples of suspect materials and send them to a UKAS accredited laboratory. The lab confirms whether asbestos is present and which type it is.
What happens to the asbestos you remove?
We are registered with the Environment Agency to carry and dispose of hazardous waste. After removal you receive documentation showing that the material was disposed of legally.
