Asbestos in Redditch
Redditch is a former needle- and spring-making town redeveloped as a 1960s-70s New Town, with extensive system-built estates and industrial units laid out around its ring road. That New Town construction era used asbestos insulating board, asbestos cement cladding and lagging heavily, and the surrounding factory units and homes commonly contain artex and asbestos cement roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Redditch 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 Redditch: FAQs
Why is asbestos common in Redditch New Town housing?
Redditch was largely built or rebuilt in the 1960s and 70s, the peak era for asbestos insulating board, cement cladding and lagging. Many of its estates and industrial units still contain these materials, so a survey before any refurbishment is strongly advised.
Can you survey commercial units on Redditch industrial estates?
Yes — we carry out management and refurbishment surveys across Redditch's trading estates, mapping cement roofs, cladding and lagging, with priority risk scores and a duty-to-manage register that stands up to the HSE.
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.
