What Sample to Send for Asbestos Testing in Devon

If you suspect that your property in Devon contains asbestos, it's essential to get it tested by a reputable laboratory. But what sample should you send for asbestos testing? At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're here to guide you through the process and provide you with the necessary information to ensure accurate results.

Understanding Asbestos Materials

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in construction materials, such as insulation, roofing, and flooring. However, when these materials are damaged or disturbed, they can release asbestos fibres into the air, posing a significant health risk. To determine if a material contains asbestos, you'll need to send a sample to a laboratory for analysis.

What Sample to Send for Asbestos Testing

When selecting a sample for asbestos testing, it's crucial to choose a material that is representative of the suspected asbestos-containing material. Here are some guidelines to follow:

  • Choose a sample that is at least 1-2 cm in size and has a rough texture.
  • Avoid sampling materials that are heavily contaminated with dirt, dust, or other substances.
  • If you're sampling a roofing material, try to include a section of the material that is closest to the surface.
  • If you're sampling a flooring material, try to include a section of the material that is closest to the subfloor.

How to Collect and Package Your Sample

When collecting your sample, make sure to wear protective clothing, including gloves, a mask, and safety goggles. Use a sealable plastic bag or airtight container to package the sample, and label it clearly with your name, address, and the location of the sample. It's also essential to include any relevant information about the sample, such as the type of material and the date it was collected.
