In this article, we'll explain how our asbestos testing kits work and provide all the information you need to know about testing for asbestos in your home in Sussex.

About Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry during the late 19th century until the late 1990s. It was used in many building materials, including insulation, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, and roofing.

Asbestos becomes dangerous when it is disturbed or damaged, releasing tiny fibres into the air that can be inhaled. These fibres can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

Because of the risk to health, it's important to test for the presence of asbestos in your home. Asbestos testing kits are a simple and affordable way to identify whether asbestos is present.

About Our Asbestos Testing Kit

Our asbestos testing kit is designed to be used by homeowners without any specialist knowledge or training. The kit contains everything you need to collect a sample of material suspected of containing asbestos, which can then be sent to our laboratory for analysis.

The kit contains:

• PPE (personal protective equipment) including a mask, gloves, and overalls.
• A sample collection bag.
• All necessary packaging and a pre-paid envelope for sending the sample to our lab.
• Full instructions on how to collect a sample and return it to us for analysis.

How To Use The Asbestos Testing Kit

Using the kit is straightforward and can be done in four simple steps:

1. Choose a material suspected of containing asbestos, such as an old ceiling tile.
2. Put on the PPE provided in the kit.
3. Use the scraper provided to collect a sample of the material.
4. Place the sample in the collection bag and seal it. Then place the bag into the packaging provided and return it to us for analysis, using the pre-paid envelope included in the kit.

What Happens Next?

Once we receive your sample, we'll analyse it in our lab and provide you with the results within 24 hours. If your sample tests positive for asbestos, we'll provide you with a report detailing our findings and recommendations for removing the asbestos safely and effectively.
