How Can I Test for Asbestos in Hampshire?

Asbestos was widely used in a variety of building materials prior to the 1990s due to its resistance to heat and durability. However, it's been discovered that inhaling asbestos fibres can lead to untreatable lung diseases, meaning it's now illegal to use or import it in the UK. That being said, any building constructed before 2000 may still contain asbestos, which can pose a risk to health if not handled properly.

Asbestos is particularly prevalent in Hampshire, South East England, and could be present in any building, from offices and factories to homes and schools. Particularly, older properties may have materials that contain asbestos, such as cement, roofing tiles, or insulation. It's best to handle any suspected asbestos in a safe and professional manner, but how can you ensure that asbestos is present and needs removing? That's where asbestos testing comes in.

How Do We Test for Asbestos?

Our team uses various methods to identify the presence of asbestos in buildings. The methods we use will depend on the type of materials, the location, and the situation.

Sampling

One of the main methods we use to test for asbestos is sampling. This involves removing a small piece of the material suspected of containing asbestos, which is then carefully analysed by our trained experts. Sampling is useful in identifying the type of asbestos in the sample and whether it poses a risk to the occupants of the building.

Air Testing

Air testing is another method we use to test for asbestos. This involves monitoring the air quality in a building where asbestos may be present to determine if there are asbestos fibres in the air. If we find asbestos fibres in the air, it's possible that asbestos-containing materials in the building are damaged, which can pose a risk to the occupants.

Visual Inspection

Visual inspection is a crucial component of asbestos testing, and our team has a trained eye to spot signs of asbestos-containing materials. They will physically examine the materials where asbestos might be present, looking for visual signs of damage or wear that may have released asbestos fibres. If our team suspects an issue, we will proceed with further testing to confirm the presence of asbestos.

What Happens After Asbestos Testing?

After we have confirmed the presence of asbestos in a building, we will provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings. The report will identify the location, amount, and type of asbestos found, and our team will advise you on the next steps to take. Often, this will involve removing the asbestos-containing materials or sealing them off to prevent the release of asbestos fibres.

Asbestos removal should be carried out by professionals like us. Our team is fully licensed and trained to remove asbestos, and we follow strict regulations to ensure that the process is safe and effective.
