Need Help with Asbestos Testing?
Whether you’re unsure about a material or need urgent lab results, we’re here to help. From nationwide sample collection to UKAS-accredited analysis — we’ll get you fast, accurate answers and clear next steps.
As a trusted choice for anyone searching for asbestos testers near me, AIB specialises in safely identifying asbestos across dozens of historic building materials — many of which look completely harmless. Below are some of the most frequently tested items we come across. Whether it’s visible or hidden beneath other layers, our team can take samples safely and identify any asbestos content with UKAS-accredited lab analysis.
Asbestos isn’t always visible — and it can be found in hundreds of common materials used in UK buildings before 2000. From ceiling tiles and vinyl flooring to pipe lagging, boiler panels and roofing sheets, the only way to know for sure is to test.
At AIB Solutions, we provide fast, accurate asbestos testing using UKAS-accredited laboratories. Whether you need a one-off test or multiple samples across a property, we’ll give you clear results and expert guidance on what to do next.
If you’re renovating, managing compliance, or just need peace of mind, our team offers safe sample collection, next-day lab turnaround, and straightforward advice you can trust.
AIB provides UKAS-accredited asbestos testing across the UK. With 20+ years’ experience and a 100% safety record, our local asbestos testers can deliver results in as little as 24 hours.
If your property was built before 2000 and you’re planning refurbishment, demolition, or have spotted a suspicious material (e.g. old floor tiles, textured coatings, or pipe insulation), testing is strongly advised. Please see the above diagram for typical types of asbestos found in properties.
