Asbestos Sampling and Testing

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials before it was banned in the UK in 1999 due to its health risks. Asbestos-containing materials can still be found in many buildings constructed before the ban, including insulation, ceiling and floor tiles, textured coatings, and more.

To determine if a material contains asbestos, a sample must be taken and tested in a laboratory. Sampling should only be done by a trained professional to minimize the risk of asbestos exposure.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we offer comprehensive asbestos sampling and testing services for residential and commercial properties in Sussex and beyond. We use a range of techniques to identify asbestos-containing materials, including:

• Visual inspection of the material
• Taking physical samples of the material
• Analyzing the samples in a UKAS-accredited lab
• Providing a detailed report on the test results

• Insulation (both pipe and spray-on)
• Ceiling tiles and floor tiles
• Textured coatings (such as Artex)
• Paneling and cladding
• Cement and cement products
• Roofing materials

If you're unsure whether a material contains asbestos, it's always best to err on the side of caution and have it tested.

Vinyl Floor Tiles and Asbestos

One common source of asbestos-containing materials in older properties is vinyl floor tiles. Many vinyl floor tiles produced prior to the 1980s contained asbestos fibers as a strengthening agent.
