Sampling

As part of our asbestos testing services, we conduct sampling to collect material samples from your property. This involves removing a small piece of the material, which is then tested in a UKAS-accredited laboratory to identify whether it contains asbestos or not.

Understanding Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building and construction materials until the 1980s. It was prized for its resistance to heat, fire, and chemicals, and was therefore used extensively in insulation, flooring, roofing materials, and other building products.

However, asbestos is highly toxic and poses significant health risks when it is disturbed or damaged. When asbestos fibers are released into the air, they can be inhaled, which can lead to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious health conditions.

Why Get Your Property Tested For Asbestos?

The only way to accurately identify whether materials in your home or commercial property contain asbestos is by conducting a professional survey. Asbestos testing is important for several reasons:

• Safety: Asbestos can harm your health if you inhale its fibers. Therefore, it is essential to know whether your property contains asbestos and to ensure that any asbestos-containing materials are safely removed.

• Compliance: If your property was built before 2000, you have a legal duty to identify any asbestos-containing materials on your premises and to manage the risks associated with them.

• Insurance: If you are thinking of selling or buying a property, many insurance providers will require an asbestos survey to be conducted to ensure that the property is asbestos-free.
