What Is Domestic Asbestos Testing?

Domestic asbestos testing involves taking samples of materials suspected to contain asbestos from a residential property and sending them to a certified laboratory for analysis. These materials may include ceiling coatings, floor tiles, pipe lagging, garage roofs, or insulating boards.

Once the test results are confirmed, we provide a clear report outlining:

Whether asbestos is present
The type of asbestos identified
The condition and risk level
Next steps for management, encapsulation or safe removal (if needed)

We carry out testing for domestic asbestos in the UK with discretion and care, ensuring you understand your options without causing unnecessary alarm.

When Do You Need Asbestos Testing at Home?

You’re planning building or refurbishment work
You’ve discovered older materials and want to be sure they’re safe
You’re buying or selling a property built before 2000
You’ve found a suspicious material in your loft, shed, or garage
You want to create or update an asbestos management plan for a rental property

Our team will assess your situation and advise if testing is necessary. In many cases, homeowners choose to test proactively, particularly when it comes to artex ceilings, floor tiles, soffits, or external panels common in older UK homes.

What to Expect from the Testing Process

Initial Call or Enquiry: We’ll discuss your concerns and arrange a convenient time for our trained technician to visit your property.
Sample Collection: We carefully collect small samples from the suspected material using safe techniques designed to minimise disturbance. The process is quick, clean and handled entirely by our experts.
Laboratory Analysis: Samples are sent to a UKAS-accredited lab for detailed testing. Results typically come back within a few working days.
Clear Report & Recommendations: You’ll receive a written report confirming whether asbestos was found, including guidance on condition and recommended next steps, whether that’s encapsulation, removal or simple monitoring.

Asbestos Testing Results

Midlands Asbestos Solutions offer an efficient testing process to get your results back within 24 hours. This is called a fast-track service, which allows us to take immediate action. We also offer a standard service where test results are available within 3 – 5 working days.

Our experience and expertise enables us to provide you with a test report that will detail whether or not the sample taken was positive for asbestos. If you’re having any works carried out at home, this can be extremely useful for any contractors that may be operating within your property.

We are fully licensed and qualified to remove, encapsulate or safely dispose of all types of asbestos. Once you have received the results of the asbestos sampling we can then offer a tailored removal plan. This might involve Midlands Asbestos Solutions attending your site quickly and efficiently to assess the volume of removal works. We will offer a no obligation quotation that allows you to consider what course of action to take.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely delighted with the service received. It took me at least six months from receiving an initial quote to approving it (my own fault for the delay) but Tracy in the office was incredibly patient and helpful answering any questions I had. The team arrived on the day arranged and left the area clean and tidy. They even took some extra rubbish which I'd accidentally left so bonus points for that! Really happy and would 100% recommend. I did shop around and they're prices are the most competitive in Derby. 10/10!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From my initial contact to the completion of my garage ceiling asbestos AIB board removal the service I received was five star. I was very impressed with the whole team who were both friendly, very experienced and completed the work in the specified time. I would recommend this company as it can be a very stressful time but they talked me through every step and could not be more responsive to my needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial survey to the removal Midlands Asbestos Solutions have been quick, efficient, communicated clearly and helpful.  I had them do a survey of my house before having some work done given the age of the property.  They did a thorough survey and thankfully found the small bit of asbestos in the aga. This inquisitive mindset went beyond the walls and ceilings, helping us to make our home safe and compliant.  The guys who came round to do the removal were great too.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Requested a sample of some floor tiles found under existing kitchen floor. Very friendly and helpful staff member answered the phoned. Appointment was made and someone came round and collected the sample which is then sent to a UKAS accredited lab. Results received a few days later with certificate. No asbestos found fortunately. Yes it is more expensive than doing these ones where you do it yourself and post it off, but you know it is done right, also they have a lot more overheads to cover.
