3. Analysis

The samples will be analysed in a UKAS accredited laboratory using polarised light microscopy (PLM) and/or scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine whether the material contains asbestos, the types of asbestos present, and the concentration of asbestos fibres.

4. Reporting

We will provide a detailed report outlining the findings, recommendations, and next steps if asbestos is found. We will also provide guidance on how to manage asbestos safely, including the removal of any identified ACMs if necessary.

What Materials Can Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos was used in many building materials, and it's not always easy to identify them without laboratory testing. Some common examples of building materials that can contain asbestos include:

• Thermal insulation (asbestos insulation board, pipe lagging)
• Decorative finishes (artex, textured coatings, plaster)
• Floor and ceiling tiles
• Cement products (corrugated roofing sheets, roof tiles)
• Electrical equipment (thermal insulation, arc chutes)

If you are unsure if any of the building material in your property contains asbestos, it's best to have them thoroughly tested to provide an accurate picture of the risk.
