Asbestos was once a popular building material, due to its high heat tolerance, durability, and affordability. However, we now know that asbestos fibers are highly carcinogenic, and long-term exposure to them can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
If your property was built before 2000, there's a good chance that it contains asbestos. That's because asbestos wasn't fully banned in the UK until 1999, and many buildings constructed before then used asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in their construction, such as:
If you live in Higher Holnest, Dorset, South West England, and you're concerned about the presence of asbestos in your home or business, Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire can help. As a reputable asbestos testing company in Higher Holnest, we have the experience and tools necessary to detect and identify asbestos-containing materials in your property.
Asbestos testing, also known as asbestos surveys, involves inspecting the building materials in a property to identify if any contain asbestos. In the UK, there are two types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys.
A management survey is a non-intrusive survey that aims to identify asbestos-containing materials that could potentially be disturbed during normal occupancy of the premises. The survey reports typically include a risk assessment and recommendations for how to manage the asbestos-containing materials to reduce the risk of exposure.
A refurbishment/demolition survey is a more intrusive survey that takes place when the property is undergoing significant construction or demolition work. This survey aims to identify all asbestos-containing materials so that they can be removed before the work begins.
At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we provide both types of surveys to clients in Higher Holnest and the surrounding areas.

Even if you're not concerned about the health risks of asbestos, knowing that your property is free from asbestos-containing materials can give you peace of mind. Asbestos testing can help you identify any potential hazards so that you can take steps to address them before they become a problem.
When you hire Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire to conduct an asbestos survey, we'll first conduct a visual inspection of your property to identify any materials that are likely to contain asbestos. If we suspect that a material contains asbestos, we'll take a small sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for testing.
The lab will use polarised light microscopy (PLM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to determine if the sample contains asbestos fibers. The results of the testing will be sent back to us, and we'll use them to identify any asbestos-containing materials in your property.
If we find asbestos-containing materials in your property, we'll provide you with a detailed report that outlines the location and condition of the materials. We'll also provide you with recommendations for how to manage the asbestos-containing materials, which may include:
