Where Can I Get Tested For Asbestos In Sussex?

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we understand the hazards posed by asbestos exposure, and we know that early detection is key to avoiding long-term health risks. That is why we provide reliable asbestos testing services to clients in Sussex and the wider South East of England.

Asbestos is a highly toxic mineral that was used extensively in construction materials such as insulation, roofing, and flooring until the 1980s. When asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed, they release microscopic fibres that can cause severe respiratory illnesses, including asbestosis and lung cancer.

Sadly, a significant number of buildings in Sussex still contain asbestos, which means that anyone who lives or works in such buildings is at risk of exposure. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that property owners, managers, and contractors ought to have asbestos surveys carried out on their premises to verify the presence of asbestos, its type, quantity, and condition.

Asbestos Testing

Our asbestos testing service at Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex is a thorough process that involves sampling and analysing suspected asbestos-containing materials to establish the presence and type of asbestos present. Our team comprises experienced, highly trained asbestos surveyors who have years of experience handling and analysing asbestos samples.

We use state-of-the-art equipment combined with cutting-edge techniques and methods to provide accurate and timely asbestos testing results. Some of the materials that we test for asbestos include:

• Textured Coatings (such as Artex)
• Thermal Insulation
• AIB (Asbestos Insulating Board)
• Cement Roofing & Siding
• Vinyl Floor Tiles
• Ductwork
• Boilers & Pipework
• Bitumen Products

Once we've obtained a sample, we'll carefully and securely remove it from the site and send it to our specialist UKAS laboratory where it is analysed for its asbestos content. We will always provide you with a clear and concise report detailing our findings and what action you should take next.

It's worth noting that asbestos testing can be carried out on both residential and commercial buildings, and we are happy to provide testing services to landlords, homeowners, property managers, business owners, and local authorities.

May is National Asbestos Awareness Month, which is a vital campaign aiming to raise public awareness of the dangers of asbestos and how it can affect people's health. During this month, we encourage everyone living and working in the Sussex area to book an asbestos survey or testing service with us to ensure they are living and working in a safe environment.

Asbestosis and Lung Cancer

Asbestos exposure can cause several health problems, including asbestosis and lung cancer. Asbestos-related lung cancer is a type of cancer that forms when asbestos fibres settle in the lungs and trigger mutations in the body's cells, leading to the growth of tumours. Asbestosis is also a chronic lung condition that causes shortness of breath and coughing.

Sadly, these diseases can take years to manifest, so early detection is crucial to prevent the development of these life-threatening conditions. By choosing to have an asbestos survey and subsequent asbestos testing carried out, you could save your life or the lives of those around you.
