Step 2: Sample collection

We take a small sample from the suspected material using special tools to avoid releasing any fibers.

Step 3: UKAS Accredited Laboratory Testing

The sample is sent to a UKAS (UK Accreditation Service) accredited laboratory for testing. The sample is analysed under a microscope, and the asbestos content is identified and quantified.

Step 4: Report and Recommendations

We provide you with a detailed report that explains the findings and risks associated with asbestos in the property. Recommendations for management or removal are also provided.

Information you need to know about Asbestos

Here are a few facts about asbestos that everyone should know:

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials until the 1990s. There are six types of asbestos, including chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite. All types of asbestos are dangerous if inhaled.

How is Asbestos Dangerous?

Asbestos fibers are too small to see, and can easily be inhaled without you even realizing it. Once the fibers are in your lungs, they can cause scar tissue to form, leading to breathing difficulties and lung damage. Exposure to asbestos has also been linked to cancer, including mesothelioma.
