What Is Asbestos Testing?

Asbestos testing involves identifying if asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present in a building. These materials can include floor tiles, roofing, insulation, pipe wrap, and other common building materials used before the ban on asbestos in the UK in 1999. The process of asbestos testing involves a trained surveyor visiting your property to collect samples of suspected ACMs.

These samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results of our testing will indicate whether asbestos is present in the materials and, if so, at what level. Once we've received the results, we'll provide you with a comprehensive report detailing our findings and any recommendations for further action.

Why Do You Need Asbestos Testing?

Despite its ban in 1999, asbestos can still be found in buildings throughout the UK. If you're planning to renovate or demolish a property built before 2000, it's essential to have it tested for asbestos. Exposure to the material can cause serious health problems, including mesothelioma, a type of cancer that affects the lungs and lining of the chest.

Asbestos testing is also essential for property buyers and sellers. By law, sellers are required to disclose any known asbestos-containing materials in the property's home report. Buyers may also request asbestos testing as part of their due diligence before buying a property.
