How To Get Home Tested For Asbestos In Sussex

If you're a homeowner in Sussex, South East England, you may be wondering if your home contains asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials until the 1980s. Asbestos can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis, so it's important to know if your home contains this hazardous substance.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we offer asbestos testing services to help you determine if your home contains asbestos. Our company is a licensed and insured asbestos testing company in Sussex, and we have years of experience in identifying and removing asbestos from homes and businesses.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a mineral that was used extensively in building materials due to its heat resistance, durability, and strength. It was commonly used in insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, roofing materials, and other building materials. However, when asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed, they can release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems.

Asbestos was finally banned in the UK in 1999, but many homes and buildings built before that time may still contain asbestos. That's why it's important to have your home tested for asbestos if it was built before 2000.

How does asbestos testing work?

When you contact us for asbestos testing services, we'll schedule a convenient time to visit your home and take samples from any suspect materials. We'll carefully take small samples of the potential asbestos-containing materials using specialized equipment and techniques to minimize the release of asbestos fibers.

These samples will then be analyzed in a UKAS accredited laboratory to determine if asbestos is present. The testing process usually takes a few days, and we'll provide you with a detailed report of our findings.

Do I need to be present during asbestos testing?

No, you don't need to be present during asbestos testing. We can arrange to collect samples from your home while you're away, or we can work around your schedule to find a convenient time for testing. All we need is access to the areas where potential asbestos-containing materials are located.

What happens if asbestos is found in my home?

If asbestos is found in your home, don't panic. Asbestos is only dangerous if it's airborne and inhaled, so if the materials containing asbestos are in good condition and not damaged, you may be able to leave them in place.

However, if the asbestos-containing materials are damaged or deteriorating, they need to be removed or repaired by a licensed asbestos removal company. Asbestos removal should never be attempted by homeowners, as it can release harmful fibers into the air if not done properly.
