I am moving into a house built in 1975 and it has artex ceiling. The condition of the ceilings are good apart from the bathroom, which has no extractor fan which has made the artex crack.

As the house is pre 80s, and I will be cutting through the ceiling to install fan, lights etc I want to have them checked for asbestos.

I live in the Aberdeenshire area, Scotland. Are there any recommended companies who could check - and not just looking to make a quick buck about it? I move in at the end of this month.

Thanks.

Have you tried your local council? they may be able to steer you in the right direction.
 
Its also worth while getting in touch with any local demolition companies to see if they use or can recommend an analyst thats local.

I have had quotes from RPS Group and Ethos Environmental.

Has anyone used these companies before?

One is slightly more expensive and says the test results will take 3-5 days, the other one says results will be back the next working day (which seems really quick?)

Thanks
 
£150 plus VAT and £165 plus VAT. Seems a lot to pay.
