We Offer Asbestos Surveys And Asbestos Testing , Asbestos Management in London at Affordable Prices With No Hidden Cost
Safety Spectrum London offers premium, fully compliant Asbestos Survey services throughout London.
Our role is to assist homeowners, landlords, builders, or commercial property owners in creating a safe environment by assessing Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) as per the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Whether you are purchasing, renewing, demolishing or maintaining a property, our team provides you with precise results and peace of mind because you will exactly know what materials in your building contain asbestos and how to deal with them.
An asbestos management survey identifies ACMs that could be affected in day-to-day operations or during maintenance activities. Our surveyors inspect asbestos insulation boards, pipe insulation, roofing sheets, and ceiling tiles to produce an asbestos register and management plan. This type of survey is especially suited to landlords or property/facilities managers wishing to satisfy their legal duties under asbestos law in the UK.
Refurbishment or demolition work requires that there be an R&D asbestos survey carried out before it commences. Also, we undertake intrusive inspections to reveal concealed ACMs embedded in walls, floors, and ceilings. For instance, we inspect for asbestos insulation boards, Artex asbestos coatings, and asbestos pipe lagging. Our detailed report on the asbestos survey will ensure project planning is done without delay or infringement.
In cases where you think there is asbestos in a particular material such as Artex ceilings, roofing tiles, or asbestos boards, our surveyors can obtain samples for laboratory testing. These samples can be analyzed at a UKAS-accredited laboratory. The asbestos test analyses to determine the type (for instance, chrysotile asbestos) and percentage of fibres. Results can be expected within 24-48 hours. This gives quick feedback or proof of legal compliance.
For those with existing asbestos registers, we provide re-inspection services to ensure that ACMs continue to be in stable condition. Re-inspections are part of a sound plan to manage asbestos.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring series of minerals that had been used extensively in construction materials because of its strength, insulating qualities, and fire resistance.
Asbestos fibres can be classified mainly into six types. These include chrysotile or white asbestos, amosite or brown asbestos and crocidolite or blue asbestos.
Each type can be dangerous if the fibres become airborne. This resulted in serious diseases like asbestosis and mesothelioma.
Although asbestos is now banned in the UK as of 1999, it is still prevalent in many buildings in London erected before 2000. Asbestos can be found in roofs, ceilings, floor tiles, insulation boards, or even in Artex coatings.
It is crucial to have a proper understanding of the asbestos meaning and location before embarking on any form of construction or maintenance.
If your building was constructed before 2000 asbestos could exist in unexpected places, such as:
These materials often contain white asbestos (chrysotile) or brown asbestos (amosite).
If you are wondering “Does Artex contain asbestos?” coatings produced before 1999 frequently did.
Our testing quickly determines whether the Artex ceiling asbestos or roofing materials in your property pose a risk.
Chrysotile Asbestos (White)
Most common in ceilings, roofs, and walls flexible and heat resistant but still dangerous when disturbed.
Amosite Asbestos (Brown)
Used in asbestos insulation boards, roofing, and ceiling tiles; more brittle and hazardous than white asbestos.
Crocidolite Asbestos (Blue)
Extremely fine fibres once used in high temperature insulation the most dangerous form of all.
Even a small disturbance can release fibres into the air.
That’s why asbestos awareness, professional surveys, and UKAS-certified testing are essential to manage risk effectively.

An asbestos survey is conducted to identify and evaluate materials that could contain asbestos at your premises.
Asbestos constitutes six minerals that have natural resistance to heat and rusting. These minerals can produce harmful fibers if they get disturbed.
Asbestos survey prices can range between £150–£300. It depends on the size of the property.
Mandatory prior to any renovation, demolition, or maintenance work in buildings erected before 2000.
Asbestos testing is done through laboratory tests to determine the type and amount of asbestos.
These varieties include chrysotile (white), amosite (brown), and crocidolite (blue).
As found in Artex ceilings, asbestos insulation boards, pipe lagging, and roof tiles.
