Asbestos in Inverness
Inverness is the capital of the Highlands, a fast-growing city of Victorian stone tenements, interwar housing and large modern estates such as Culloden and Smithton. Its older tenements, mid-century schools and public buildings, and 1960s-70s housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board and asbestos cement roofing and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Inverness 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 Inverness: FAQs
Do older Inverness tenements contain asbestos?
Pre-2000 tenements and houses across Inverness can contain artex, AIB, lagging and asbestos cement. As the materials are bound and hidden, a survey before any refurbishment is the only reliable way to know what is present.
How far around the Highlands do you cover?
We survey and test across Inverness and out to Nairn, Dingwall and the surrounding Highland towns. A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, with pricing confirmed before we travel.
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.
