Asbestos Samples: How We Take Them

Sampling is an essential part of asbestos testing, as it allows us to confirm or rule out the presence of asbestos in a material. We follow strict procedures to ensure that sampling is done safely and accurately, without releasing any fibers into the air.

We take a small sample from each suspect material, using either a hand-held coring tool or a damp cloth to prevent dust and fibers from escaping. We place the samples in sealed containers and label them with unique identifiers for tracking and analysis.

We then send the samples to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, using polarized light microscopy (PLM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to identify and quantify any asbestos fibers.

Asbestos Testing Results: What You Can Expect

Once we have received the results of the asbestos analysis from the laboratory, we will compile a detailed report that includes:

• A full description of the suspect material
• The location and condition of the material
• Whether or not asbestos was detected
• The type and amount of asbestos, if present
• The risk of exposure and the recommended management or removal actions

We also provide clear and concise recommendations for managing any asbestos-containing materials, including when and how to monitor, repair, encapsulate, or remove them.
