Report
Acorn organised my survey really quickly and got the results back to me within a week. The surveyor was really lovely and explained the testing process to me in a thoughtful way - they really gave me peace of mind about the safety of my home. I'd recommend using them if you're thinking about buying a house with artex ceilings and you're concerned about safety - their testing is non-invasive, reasonably priced, and the results are quick. Thank you Acorn!

Report
Great service - I had an asbestos survey booked and I was worried it would be very intrusive. Richard from Acorn helped me understand the survey would be very sympathetic and would not destroy the habitation of the building. Becky was our surveyor - Becky was very thorough, professional and cognizant of what we required in the report. We received the report very quickly and was detailed as excepted. Happy to recommend Acorn Services to anyone who needs their services

Acorn saved my life! Whilst doing DIY I thought damaged some asbestos. Acorn were on site in the hour and analysed the sample straight away, they also gave me a clean air certificate which put my mind at ease.
