Asbestos in Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury is Shropshire's county town, a medieval and Tudor centre wrapped in a loop of the Severn, with Georgian and Victorian housing and post-war estates. Its older homes, former industrial and railway buildings, and mid-century housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement garages and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury: FAQs
Is asbestos likely in a period Shrewsbury home?
In its 20th-century alterations, yes — artex, AIB, old floor tiles and cement garages are common in Shrewsbury's pre-2000 housing. A survey before refurbishment identifies them before they are disturbed.
How far around Shropshire do you cover?
We survey, test and arrange removal across Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire towns and villages. A home management survey 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.
