Asbestos Testing

Once we have collected samples from any potentially hazardous materials, we send them to a UKAS accredited laboratory for testing. UKAS is the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, which is responsible for accrediting organizations that provide testing, inspection, and certification services.

Asbestos Sample Analysis

Our lab will then analyze the samples for the presence and quantity of asbestos fibers. Based on the results of the analysis, we will determine whether or not the material contains asbestos and, if so, how much.
