Loughborough is a Leicestershire engineering and university town, home to the famous bellfoundry, with Victorian terraces, interwar suburbs and large post-war and student housing.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring in Loughborough: FAQs
Do student lets in Loughborough need an asbestos register?
Yes — as rented housing, the common parts and managed areas fall under the landlord's duty to manage asbestos, requiring a management survey and register. We provide these for Loughborough's many student and HMO properties.
Do former works around Loughborough contain asbestos?
Often — the town's engineering heritage means industrial buildings frequently retain lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos cement. Any conversion or demolition requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
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.
