What air monitoring in Bradford involves

Asbestos air monitoring measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is carried out to HSE guidance HSG248 and is used for several purposes: background testing before work, reassurance and leak testing during and after work, personal exposure testing for workers, and the clearance air test that forms part of the four-stage clearance after licensed removal.

Fibres are counted using phase-contrast microscopy and the results are assessed against recognised benchmarks: the control limit of 0.1 fibres per cubic centimetre over four hours for exposure, and the clearance indicator of 0.01 fibres per cubic centimetre for reoccupation testing. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an analyst who is independent of the removal contractor.

What to expect

  • Monitoring carried out to HSE guidance HSG248.
  • Independent clearance testing after licensed removal.
  • Clear results assessed against recognised limits.
  • A free, no-obligation quote before monitoring.

Air Monitoring Specialists in Bradford

If your Bradford property was built before 2000, there's a real chance asbestos is hiding somewhere in it. Left alone and in good condition it's usually low-risk. Disturb it during building work, though, and it becomes dangerous, and for many materials it's illegal to handle without a licence.

That's where we come in. The specialists we work with handle air monitoring across Bradford to the highest safety standards, surveying, removing, testing and disposing of asbestos properly, with full documentation on every job. Licensable work is carried out by HSE-licensed contractors, as the law requires.

Air Monitoring in Bradford FAQs

Does my property contain asbestos?
If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, it may well contain asbestos, which wasn't fully banned in the UK until 1999. It commonly turns up in roofing sheets, textured coatings like Artex, floor tiles, pipe lagging and insulation board. The only reliable way to know for certain is a professional survey.
Is disturbed asbestos dangerous?
Yes. Asbestos is generally low-risk while it's intact and left alone, but disturbing it is where the danger lies. Drilling, cutting, sanding or breaking it releases microscopic fibres that are harmful when breathed in. If you think a material contains asbestos, leave it be and arrange a professional survey or removal before any work starts.
Do you cover Bradford?

What is asbestos air monitoring?
Air monitoring measures how many asbestos fibres are in the air. It's used for reassurance testing while work is going on, and for clearance testing afterwards. That clearance is the final stage of the four-stage clearance process, confirming an area is safe to reoccupy after licensed removal. Samples are collected on-site and analysed to a defined standard.
