How To Use An Asbestos Test Kit In Sussex

Welcome to Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex! We are a professional asbestos testing company located in Sussex and we want to provide you with all the necessary information to properly test for asbestos in your home or workplace using our asbestos test kit.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in a variety of construction materials in the past. It was known for its strength, durability, and heat resistance, and was used in products such as insulation, roof tiles, cement, and brake pads.

Unfortunately, we now know that asbestos is extremely harmful and can cause a number of serious health problems, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. As a result, it has been banned in many countries, including the UK.

Why Test for Asbestos?

If your property was built before the year 2000, it may contain asbestos. Asbestos materials can be present in a wide range of building products, from insulation to flooring to ceiling tiles. If these materials are disturbed or damaged, they can release asbestos fibres into the air.

Breathing in these fibres can lead to serious health problems, which is why it's important to test for asbestos in your home or workplace before doing any renovations or repairs.

How to Test for Asbestos using our Test Kit

Our asbestos test kit is an easy and affordable way to test for asbestos in your home or workplace. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it:

Step 1 - Collect Samples

Using the disposable sampling bags provided in the kit, take samples of any materials you suspect may contain asbestos. This can include insulation, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, and paneling. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and wear a mask and gloves to protect yourself from any potential asbestos exposure.

Step 2 - Fill Out the Chain of Custody Form

Once you've collected your samples, fill out the chain of custody form included in the kit. This form ensures that your samples are properly labelled and tracked to our lab for analysis.

Step 3 - Send Samples to Our Lab

Place the sampling bags along with the completed chain of custody form into the pre-paid envelope provided in the kit and send it to our lab. Our lab will analyse the samples and provide you with a detailed report of any asbestos found.

Step 4 - Interpret Results

Once you receive your report, it's important to carefully review the results. If asbestos is found, it's important to contact a professional asbestos removal company, like Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex to safely and effectively remove the asbestos from your property.
