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

Fantastic experience with Acorn, the surveyor was very professional and friendly. He had a good knowledge which he shared with me to help me understand asbestos better and put my mind at ease. He collected samples safely and was happy to take as many as needed. Customer service from the head office was also great ringing me and having a friendly chat soon after I put in the quote request. Easy to understand and professional documentation was emailed to me explaining everything. Highly recommend using this company!

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.
