Bulk Sampling

This involves taking a small sample of the suspected asbestos material and analyzing it in a laboratory. We use polarized light microscopy (PLM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to identify the type and concentration of asbestos fibers in the sample.

Air Monitoring

This involves measuring the concentration of asbestos fibers in the air within and around the building. We use specialized equipment such as personal air samplers and area sampling pumps to collect air samples, which are then analyzed in a laboratory.

Asbestos Survey

This involves a comprehensive inspection of the building for the presence of asbestos materials. We conduct both management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys depending on the client's needs.

What to Expect During Asbestos Testing and Survey

Once you contact Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we will schedule a site visit to assess the extent of the asbestos problem. We will then recommend the most suitable testing and survey package for your specific needs. Our testing and survey process involves the following steps:

Step 1: Sample Collection

Our surveyors will carefully collect samples of the suspected materials using specialized tools and equipment. We take all necessary precautions to minimize any potential exposure to asbestos fibers.

Step 2: Laboratory Analysis

The samples collected are then transported to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. We use advanced techniques and equipment to accurately identify the type and concentration of asbestos fibers in the samples.
