Asbestos analysis for you in Dublin
Georgian, Victorian and 20th-century estates
Dublin's housing ranges from Georgian terraces and Victorian red-brick houses to the large suburban estates built through the 20th century. Older houses have usually been extended and refitted, and the newer layers are what to look at. Floor tiles and their adhesive, textured ceiling coatings, soffits, boards around boilers and asbestos-cement sheeting on sheds and garages are typical places where asbestos can be found in homes of this era.
Extensions and attic conversions
Many Dublin homeowners add a kitchen extension or convert the attic. Both mean breaking into existing walls, ceilings and roofs, often for the first time in decades. Before the builders start, list the materials that will be removed and send one sample of each. A textured ceiling, for example, can be sampled by scraping a small amount into a bag after dampening the surface, without sanding.
