Types of material we test for asbestos
Any type of material can be tested for asbestos. Whether you need something in your Newark house testing or need a Newark commercial building material tested - we can sample and test it all!
Below are some examples of what we can take samples of and test for asbestos >>>
Artex / Popcorn Ceilings and Walls (Textured Coating)
Used for decorative and practical purposes, Artex and popcorn coatings can still be found on ceilings and walls in homes and commercial spaces.
Cement
Durable and weather-resistant, asbestos cement was used in garages, barns, pipework, cowls, and external cladding before its risks were fully understood.
Floor Tiles
Before modern alternatives became widespread, asbestos floor tiles were installed in domestic and business premises for their strength and longevity.
Vermiculite
Loft spaces and structural voids in older properties may contain vermiculite insulation, which can sometimes be contaminated with asbestos.
Felt Roofing
Many older structures still have asbestos-based felt roofing, particularly on garages, garden sheds, and storage outbuildings.
Soffits
Asbestos was widely used in soffits, particularly in homes and business premises built before modern safety regulations.
Pipe Lagging
In many older commercial buildings, pipe insulation—especially around heating systems—may contain asbestos, posing a risk if disturbed.
Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB)
AIB can be found in many homes and workplaces, particularly within fire doors, voids in lofts, garage ceilings, and around heating equipment as a protective barrier.
Electric Meter Backboard
Many older homes and commercial buildings still have asbestos-based backboards behind their electric meters, as it was once a standard fireproofing material.
