Over the weekend, we had the pleasure of visiting a lovely couple in Atherton who are currently in the process of upgrading their home! 🏡

As you can see in image one and the close-up in image two the homeowners correctly identified that their ceilings have a textured coating or commonly known as Artex.

Being safety-conscious renovators, they made the smart move to get the ceiling tested for asbestos before starting any major works. It is always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to older textured finishes!

Moving house or planning a renovation? Don’t leave it to chance.

Why test?

• ✅ Peace of Mind: Know exactly what you are dealing with before you disturb any surfaces.

• ✅ Safety First: Protect your family and tradespeople from potential exposure.

• ✅ Project Planning: Ensure your home upgrades stay on track without any nasty surprises.

If you have a ceiling similar to the one shown in the images and are planning some DIY or professional renovations, get in touch today for professional advice and testing.

How do you know if you need an asbestos survey?

If your home was built or had significant work done before 2000, there’s a strong chance it contains asbestos in everyday materials, and a professional survey is the best way to gain complete peace of mind.

Why you need one:

• Before any renovation, extension, or DIY work — Disturbing materials without knowing what’s there can release harmful fibres. A proper survey lets you plan safely, avoid costly delays or emergency removal, and stay on the right side of Health and Safety Executive guidance.

• When buying or selling a pre-2000 property — Many buyers, solicitors, and mortgage lenders now expect reassurance. Getting a survey upfront makes your home more attractive and protects everyone involved.

• For your family’s long-term safety, Undisturbed asbestos is usually low risk, but knowing exactly where it is (and its condition) gives you control and prevents unnecessary worry.

Common places asbestos often hides in homes like ours:

• Textured decorative coatings (such as Artex on ceilings and walls)
• Old corrugated cement garage or shed roofs
• Soffits, porch linings, cement panels, and certain floor tiles, insulation or old mastic to window and door frames

Pinnacle Asbestos Solutions specialise in clear, reliable residential asbestos surveys, testing, consultancy, management plans, and CAR 2012 advice. We identify any risks early so you can move forward with confidence, whether you’re planning improvements, selling, or simply want to protect your family and property value.

📸 See the attached poster for full details of their professional services.

Don’t leave it to chance. A quick, professional survey from Pinnacle gives you the knowledge and protection you need, fast, affordably, and with complete peace of mind.

ASBESTOS IN SCHOOLS – ARE YOU COMPLIANT? 🏫⚠️

Asbestos is still present in many school buildings across the UK, and in more places than people realise.

From ceiling tiles and wall panels to pipe insulation, floor tiles, and even fire doors… it’s not always obvious, but it’s there.

👉 The key thing?
Asbestos isn’t dangerous unless it’s disturbed, but everyday activities, maintenance, or refurbishment works can easily change that if it’s not properly managed.

Dutyholders (schools, academies, trusts, etc.) must:
✔️ Know where asbestos is located
✔️ Keep an up-to-date asbestos register
✔️ Assess and manage the risks
✔️ Have a clear management plan in place

Failure to manage asbestos properly doesn’t just risk enforcement, it puts staff, pupils, and visitors at risk.

At Pinnacle Asbestos Solutions, we help schools and organisations:
• Stay compliant
• Understand their risks clearly
• Put practical, straightforward management plans in place

No confusion. No overcomplication. Just clear advice and proper compliance.

If you’re unsure about your current asbestos management, or just want a second opinion, feel free to drop me a message 👍

🏡 Pre-Sale Asbestos Management Survey – Leigh

Another pre-sale survey completed recently in Leigh, highlighting exactly why having an asbestos survey done before purchase is so important.

During the inspection, textured coatings (Artex-type finishes) were identified throughout the property to both ceilings and walls with majority confirmed positive for asbestos following analysis.

Asbestos-containing mastic was also identified to a number of window and door frames, which is a common finding in properties of this age and often overlooked.

In addition, Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) was identified to the rear of an internal door, which has also tested positive for amosite (brown asbestos).

⚠️ Why this matters:
Amosite (brown asbestos) is considered one of the more hazardous forms of asbestos due to:

Higher fibre strength and durability

Greater resistance to heat

More likely to release harmful fibres if disturbed

Commonly found in insulating boards, ceiling tiles, and fire protection materials

Because of this, AIB is a licensed material, meaning any removal or disturbance must be carried out by a licensed asbestos contractor (LARC) under controlled conditions.

💡 Key Takeaways for Buyers:

Asbestos is still commonly found in properties of this age
Not all asbestos is high risk, but materials like AIB require careful management

Identifying it early allows you to:

Factor costs into negotiations 💷

Plan works safely 🛠️

Avoid unexpected delays or exposure ⚠️

🤝 How we help:

At Pinnacle Asbestos Solutions, we don’t just identify asbestos, we help you understand it and deal with it properly.
From surveys to arranging and managing removal works, we take the stress out of the process and ensure everything is done safely and compliantly.

📩 If you’re buying, selling, or planning work on a property, feel free to get in touch for advice or a quote.

Professional surveys. Practical advice. Peace of mind.

One of our surveyors was out bright and early today helping move along a pre-sale asbestos survey for our client in Harwood, Bolton.

This well-kept residential property is a traditional family home, typical of the area, with a mix of original and more modern elements, exactly the kind of property where a pre-sale asbestos survey gives buyers confidence and helps prevent delays further down the line.

By identifying any potential asbestos-containing materials early, we’re helping ensure a smooth transaction, clear information for all parties, and no last-minute surprises during conveyancing.

Three samples taken overall.
1. Linoleum within electric meter cupboard.
2. Roof felt to the underside of the timber roof.
3. Undercloaking to the roof.

Nothing exciting for our surveyor. We know how much surveyors love an interesting find. But it’s just as important regardless of the building for our clients.

Moving home? Do you need an asbestos survey undertaken for peace of mind like this. Reach out let’s have a chat 💬

Another step closer to completion ✔️
Protecting people. Managing risk.

🧠 Did you know?

Asbestos can’t be identified by sight alone.
Two materials that look identical can be completely different — only a professional asbestos survey and laboratory analysis can confirm whether asbestos is present.

That’s why relying on photos, estate agent descriptions, or “it looks modern” assumptions can be risky — especially in properties built before 2000.

📋 A proper asbestos survey removes doubt, protects occupants, and avoids costly surprises during refurbishment or purchase.

ASBESTOS IN DOMESTIC PROPERTIES – REAL EXAMPLES FROM RECENT SURVEYS

Pinnacle Asbestos Solutions – Keeping Homes Safe Across Manchester & The North West!
When people think of asbestos, they imagine big industrial buildings…
But the truth is, asbestos is still extremely common in everyday houses, especially those built between the 1930s–2000.
Here’s a real look at what we’ve found recently in occupied domestic properties:

Asbestos Cement loft hatches
Soffits & fascia boards containing asbestos
Old cement panels behind pipes & bathroom boxing
Textured coatings (Artex-style)
Bitumen-backed floor tiles and old Marley tiles
Underlay, adhesives & hidden layers beneath carpets/vinyl
Modern Insulating Board lining to kitchen refuse bins - sampled for negative purposes
Asbestos debris left behind/damaged
Kitchen, hallway and cupboard flooring with asbestos tiles beneath modern coverings
Asbestos Insulating Boarding boxing within a hallway store room

None of this is obvious unless you’re trained to recognise it and many of these materials were damaged, disturbed, or covered over, making them even higher risk.

Thinking of renovating? Renting out a property? Doing a rip-out?
Before you strip floors, remove walls, take out a kitchen, replace a bathroom or disturb old coverings…

👉 You legally need an asbestos survey
👉 It protects tenants, contractors and YOU as the dutyholder
👉 It prevents unnecessary exposure
👉 It avoids costly stop-work situations mid-renovation

Whether it’s:
• Management Surveys
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys
• Bulk Sampling
• Re-inspections
• Asbestos Registers & Management Plans

Pinnacle Asbestos Solutions provides fast, reliable and fully insured asbestos services for domestic, commercial and industrial properties.

Keep your home safe. Keep your projects compliant.
