Asbestos in Exeter
Exeter is a historic cathedral city that suffered heavy bombing in the 1942 Baedeker raids, leading to a rebuilt city centre and new post-war housing. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in St James and Newtown sit alongside estates that used asbestos insulating board and cement products. Terraced and interwar homes across the city commonly hold artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement soffits and garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Exeter properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring in Exeter: FAQs
Is asbestos common in Exeter's post-war housing?
Yes — because parts of Exeter were rebuilt after wartime bombing, asbestos insulating board, textured coatings and cement products feature in much of the city's housing. A survey is the surest way to know what your specific home contains before renovating.
Can you survey commercial premises in Exeter city centre?
We do. Shops, offices and converted buildings across Exeter often contain asbestos in ceiling and floor tiles, and the law requires a management survey for all non-domestic premises. We provide a clear register and a practical management plan.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
