Ceiling tiles - Often found in offices, schools, and older commercial buildings — certain fibreboard tiles may contain asbestos and should be tested before disturbance.
Floor tiles & adhesives - Vinyl floor tiles and black bitumen adhesives were commonly made with asbestos. These are often hidden beneath newer flooring layers.
Pipe lagging - Thermal insulation on old pipework — especially in plant rooms or boiler areas — often contains high-risk asbestos fibres.
Roof sheeting - Corrugated cement roofing, typically found on garages, warehouses, or agricultural buildings, frequently contains bonded asbestos.
Wall panels (AIB) - Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB) looks like plasterboard but is a high-risk material used in walls, fireproofing and ceiling voids.
Cement products - Used widely in soffits, guttering, flues, water tanks and other building elements — asbestos cement is durable but still hazardous when cut or broken.
why choose AIB.

our testing process.

1.
Sample collection or customer-provided
Our local team of asbestos testers near you can visit your property to take safe, professional samples — or you can drop them off yourself (following safety guidelines). All samples are sealed and labelled for traceability.
2.
Lab analysis (UKAS-accredited)
Your samples are tested in a UKAS-accredited laboratory using polarised light microscopy. This confirms whether asbestos is present, and if so, what type (chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, etc.).
3.
Full results with expert interpretation
We’ll send you a clear, easy-to-understand report within 24–48 hours. It outlines exactly what was found — with no jargon — and includes photographic documentation if needed.
4.
Next-step recommendations (if positive)
If asbestos is detected, we’ll advise you on what to do next — whether that’s safe removal, encapsulation, or leaving it in place under management, depending on the risk.
