Sample Collection

Once the visual inspection is complete, our team will collect samples of suspect materials using specialized equipment. We take great care when collecting samples to ensure that we do not create any unnecessary disturbance that could release asbestos fibers into the air. We will collect multiple samples from different areas of your property and send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis.

Laboratory Analysis

At the laboratory, the samples will be analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and polarized light microscopy (PLM) to identify the type and quantity of asbestos fibers present in the sample. The results will be sent to us, and we will compile them into a comprehensive report that includes guidance on the appropriate steps to take based on the findings.

When Do You Need Asbestos Testing?

If you are planning to buy an older property, it is essential to have it tested for asbestos beforehand. This will allow you to identify any potential health risks and make informed decisions about your purchase. Additionally, if you suspect that your property contains asbestos-containing materials, it is crucial to have it tested as soon as possible to avoid any potential health risks.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we recommend having your property tested for asbestos if it was built before 2000. This is because asbestos was commonly used in construction materials until it was banned in 1999. However, even if your property was built after 2000, it may still contain asbestos if it was built using older materials that were still in stock at the time.
