Asbestos Testing

If we identify any materials that may contain asbestos, we will carry out asbestos testing to confirm whether they do. We take samples of the materials and send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis.

Reporting

Once we have completed the asbestos survey and testing, we will provide you with a detailed report of our findings. This report will highlight any materials that contain asbestos and provide recommendations for their removal.

Why Testing For Asbestos Is Important

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used extensively in construction throughout the 20th century. It was primarily used as insulation and in other building materials due to its heat resistance and durability. However, the risks associated with asbestos exposure were not widely known until the late 20th century.

Asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems when they are released into the air and inhaled. Prolonged exposure to asbestos can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory diseases. Therefore, it is important to ensure that any materials that may contain asbestos are identified and removed as soon as possible.

Testing for asbestos is important because it allows property owners to identify any materials that may contain asbestos and take the necessary steps to remove them. By identifying and removing asbestos, property owners can ensure the safety and wellbeing of their family and employees.
