What Can Be Tested for Asbestos?
Asbestos was used in over 3,000 products before it was banned in the UK in 1999. If your home was built before 2000, there’s a chance you could find it in:
- Artex/textured ceiling coatings
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Soffits and fascia boards
- Pipe lagging and insulation
- Garage roof sheets
- Wall panels and ceiling boards

ASBESTOS TESTING FAQS
You can’t tell just by looking – many asbestos-containing materials look identical to safe ones. If your property was built before 2000 and you’re unsure about a material (like tiles, ceilings, or roof sheets), it’s best to have it tested by professionals. We offer fast, accurate testing with results in 24–48 hours.
In some cases, yes. If the material is in good condition and you’re confident handling it safely, we can guide you through the steps to take a sample. However, if the material is damaged, high-risk, or you’d prefer peace of mind, we offer safe collection by a trained professional.
If asbestos is found, don’t panic. We’ll explain exactly what type it is and whether it poses an immediate risk. Not all asbestos needs to be removed – in many cases, it can be safely managed or encapsulated. We’ll guide you on the next steps, including removal options if needed.
