Step 2 Sample Collection

Our team will carefully take samples of any suspected ACMs in your building, ensuring that the collection process is safe and efficient.

Step 3 Laboratory Analysis

We transport the samples to our UKAS accredited laboratory, where we analyze them to confirm whether or not asbestos is present in the material.

Step 4 Report and Recommendations

Once we receive the results, we prepare a detailed report outlining the findings and recommendations on what steps you can take to manage the risks of asbestos exposure. We can also assist you with asbestos removal if necessary.

Common Materials that May Contain Asbestos

Asbestos was widely used in construction materials until it was banned in 1999 in the UK. It is still found in many older buildings, especially those built before the 1980s. Some of the common materials that may contain asbestos include:

• Insulation for pipes, boilers, ducts, and tanks
• Ceiling tiles and tiles for walls and floors
• Roofing and siding materials
• Cement, concrete, and plaster
• Textured coatings and paints

If you are planning to carry out any renovation or demolition work on an older building, it is crucial to have a professional asbestos testing and survey conducted to ensure that your property is free from asbestos.
