We are here for all you Asbestos Testing needs in Meon, Fareham.
Are you concerned that your property may contain asbestos? It's a worry that many homeowners and business owners face, particularly if they own or occupy older buildings. Asbestos was used extensively in the construction industry in the UK until it was banned in 1999, and it can still be found in a wide range of building materials.
At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we are an asbestos testing company based in Meon, Hampshire, and we provide expert asbestos testing services to property owners in the South East of England. If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, we can carry out a survey to identify and assess any materials that may contain asbestos.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials such as insulation, floor tiles, roofing, and pipes. It was favoured for its heat resistance, durability, and insulating properties. Unfortunately, asbestos is also highly toxic.
Asbestos fibres can be inhaled into the lungs, and if they are not expelled, they can become lodged in the tissue, causing damage and scarring. This can lead to serious respiratory illnesses such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
Due to the known health risks associated with exposure to asbestos, it is now widely recognised as a hazardous material that should be handled with caution.

A management survey is the most common type of asbestos survey and is designed to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any asbestos-containing materials in a building. The purpose of a management survey is to provide information to the property owner or manager to assess and manage the risks posed by any identified asbestos-containing materials.
A refurbishment/demolition survey is required when a building is undergoing refurbishment or is due to be demolished. This type of survey is more intrusive than a management survey and involves destructive inspection to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach. The purpose of a refurbishment/demolition survey is to identify, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence of any asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during the refurbishment or demolition process.
The asbestos testing process involves the following steps:
Our asbestos surveyors will carry out a thorough inspection of your property to identify any materials that may contain asbestos. During the inspection, we will take photos and notes of the areas that we suspect may contain asbestos-containing materials.
If we identify any materials that we suspect may contain asbestos, we will take a sample of the material for laboratory analysis. The samples are taken using a special tool that minimises the release of asbestos fibres into the air.
The samples that we collect are sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will carry out a detailed analysis of the sample to determine if it contains asbestos, and if so, the type and quantity of asbestos present.
Once we receive the results of the laboratory analysis, we will produce a detailed report that outlines the findings of the survey. The report will include a summary of the areas inspected, the materials sampled and the results of the laboratory analysis. If asbestos-containing materials were identified, the report will also include recommendations for managing the risks associated with the materials.
