1st June 2022 On the 1st June 2022, we celebrated our 12th birthday which is a milestone in itself, as did you know that 70% of new businesses fail within 10yrs? But our 12th felt even more like a great achievement after the last 2yrs shenanigans (something about a virus?!!). So here’s to…

QUALITY, DELIVERY AND VALUE
We adhere to 3 Key Principles – SAFETY, QUALITY & SOLUTIONS
We protect you, your building users’ safety, and your reputation.
We are ambassadors for UKAS Accreditation and leading by example in our field.
We solve your problems, take away the headache and give you back your precious time.
WHERE WE WORK:
We believe in being seen as specialists within a few sectors rather than generalists to all. Our areas of specialism are within the sectors of Healthcare/NHS, Education and Manufacturing.
Asbestos can be in any building constructed before the year 2000 so we routinely work in Domestic, Commercial or Industrial buildings across the UK and ROI.
Our clients range from the large & complex heavy industry sites, to local authorities, NHS Trusts, care homes, education, retail & banking, housing associations to private homeowner or a small business with 1 property. So whether you’re a ‘blue chip’ company who has 100’s of nationwide sites or you’re a 1-off small unit or house – we’ll sort it.
With our Durham head office and other strategically located regional/satellite offices and home based staff, we are capable of providing national coverage in the UK and ROI.
We have our accredited testing laboratories located at Durham and Ripponden, West Yorkshire.
