Do you need materials sampling for asbestos?
Our experienced surveyors can carry out an asbestos testing service on suspected materials, this is more effective if you have suspicions of individual items containing asbestos rather than requiring a full survey.
If you need materials, or an item, testing for asbestos, you can be assured that all testing is carried out in accordance with HSE Guidance Notes HSG 248 and HSG264, and our in-house procedures.
Samples are taken in a safe and controlled manner, minimising the risk of inadvertent fibre release. Sample points will be safely encapsulated on completion and marked with a location sticker where appropriate.
