Don’t play renovation roulette!
Before you start any DIY renovations, ensure your home is free of dangerous asbestos. An asbestos building inspection will identify hidden risks, protecting your health and your investment. Asbestos can often be found in older homes, commonly hiding in areas like roofing materials, insulation, wall sheeting, floor tiles, and even around pipes.
Disturbing these materials during renovations without knowing the risks can release harmful fibres into the air. Don’t gamble with safety—get the facts before you renovate. With a professional asbestos inspection, you’ll have peace of mind, knowing your project can proceed safely and responsibly.

If the inspection includes Sampling services, we will safely remove small (20c piece) size samples of building materials.
We will seal the area affected by the sample removal and we always select unobtrusive, low risk locations to remove samples wherever possible.
Before we leave, we will speak with you regarding any suspected Asbestos containing materials which we believe are highly likely to have a positive lab result and which may be in a condition that means that they are an urgent and serious safety hazard.
Lab analysis of samples may take 1-3 working days.
After that time a full report including the confirmed findings from the lab results will be provided. In the report we will discuss safe asbestos management and recommendations regarding safe removal of asbestos.
As we have no financial relationship with any Asbestos Removal company you are assured of impartial advice free of the financial bias a removal company may have.
