Asbestos in Peterborough
Peterborough is a cathedral city that became a brick-making centre, with the vast Fletton brickworks once supplying much of the nation's housing. Designated a new town in 1967, it added townships like Bretton and Orton built with system construction using asbestos insulating board and cement products. The Victorian terraces and post-war homes commonly hold artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement soffits and garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Peterborough 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 Peterborough: FAQs
Could my Peterborough new-town home contain asbestos?
Yes — the townships built during Peterborough's new-town expansion in the 1970s and 80s used asbestos insulating board, cement soffits and textured coatings. A survey before any renovation identifies exactly what your specific property holds.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Peterborough?
It depends on the material and quantity. Non-licensed jobs in Peterborough homes, such as removing floor tiles or a shed roof, often start from around £350, while licensed work on insulation board or lagging runs higher. We provide a fixed quote after surveying.
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.
