2. Sample Collection:

Once we have identified areas of concern, we will collect samples from the property. Our team uses safe and non-invasive techniques to collect samples that do not disturb the asbestos-containing materials. We will take several samples for each material type and send them to a UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis.

3. Analysis and Reporting:

The samples collected are sent to a UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis. The results of the analysis will identify if asbestos is present in the samples and the amount contained. Once we receive the results, we will create a comprehensive report outlining any asbestos-containing materials, the risks associated with them, and recommendations for next steps.

What Materials Can Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos can be found in many different building materials including roof tiles, insulation, ceiling and floor tiles, boiler and pipe lagging, guttering, and cement. If your property was built before 1999, it is likely that asbestos was used in some of the construction materials.
