Frequently Asked Questions about Asbestos

Can you live in a house with asbestos?

Yes. Many UK homes still contain asbestos, and it is generally low risk as long as it is not disturbed.

If you want certainty about a specific material, our Asbestos Test Kit provides reliable UKAS lab analysis so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

How do I know if my house has asbestos?

You cannot tell just by looking. Properties built before 2000 may contain asbestos in ceilings, tiles, insulation board, roofing sheets, and more.

The most reliable way to check is to use our Asbestos Test Kit, which includes a secure return envelope and UKAS laboratory testing of your sample.

What are the first signs of asbestos?

Asbestos-containing materials usually don’t show visible signs. They look similar to non-asbestos materials.

If you want a clear answer, you can collect a small sample using our Asbestos Test Kit, and a UKAS-accredited lab will identify whether asbestos is present.

Do all old houses have asbestos?


Not all, but any property built before 2000 may contain some asbestos.

If you’re unsure, you can confirm by sending a sample through our Asbestos Test Kit for UKAS laboratory testing.

Is it illegal to sell a house with asbestos in the UK?

No. You can legally sell a home with asbestos, but you must disclose any known asbestos.

If you want proof for buyers, our Asbestos Test Kit provides certified UKAS lab results you can share as part of the sale.

What houses are most likely to have asbestos?

Homes built or renovated between 1950 and 1999 are most likely to contain asbestos, especially in textured coatings, floor tiles, insulation board and garage roofs.

To confirm whether a specific material contains asbestos, our Asbestos Test Kit offers fast UKAS lab analysis.

How to stop worrying about asbestos?

Most asbestos in homes is safe if it is in good condition and undisturbed.

Testing any materials you’re unsure about using our UKAS-laboratory Asbestos Test Kit is one of the quickest ways to get peace of mind.

How to tell if a house has asbestos in the UK?

Visual inspection isn’t enough — asbestos can only be confirmed by laboratory analysis.

Our Asbestos Test Kit allows you to safely collect a sample at home and receive a clear UKAS lab result.
