Asbestos

Identifying and managing asbestos safely, from survey to removal.

Despite being banned decades ago, asbestos remains a hidden danger in many buildings and environments, from housing stock to commercial and industrial sites. In the fast-paced world of construction, refurbishment, and demolition, encountering asbestos can quickly bring projects to a halt, unless identified and managed correctly.

At Envirochem, we help you take control of asbestos risks before they escalate. As a UKAS-accredited provider of both asbestos testing (No. 1227) and inspection services (No. 0260), we offer a joined-up approach that supports safe, compliant decision-making and keeps your site moving. Our team combines technical accuracy with real-world insight to ensure your asbestos strategy protects both people and progress. Whether you need a management survey, reassurance air testing, or analysis of a suspect material, we’ll work with you to deliver clear, compliant asbestos solutions.
