Managing Asbestos risk at home

Many UK homes built before 2000 may still contain asbestos. It could be hidden in walls, floors, ceilings, or even outside in garage roofing. Left undisturbed, it’s usually not a problem—but if you’re renovating, repairing, or just worried, you need to know what you’re dealing with.

Solution

Vintec provides affordable asbestos testing for homeowners. Whether you’d like us to take samples for you or you prefer to use a DIY kit and send them to our accredited lab, we make the process simple and safe. You’ll get clear results, explained in plain English, and advice on what to do next.

We also offer pre-purchase asbestos surveys, for when a potential purchaser has received a Homebuyers report detailing where asbestos may be located.
