Accredited asbestos testing and sampling

Asbestos testing confirms whether a material actually contains asbestos and identifies which type. A trained surveyor takes small samples of the suspect material under controlled conditions and sends them to an accredited laboratory for analysis under a microscope. It's the only reliable way to know for certain, because asbestos can't be identified by eye.

You should never sample suspected asbestos yourself, as disturbing it can release fibres. The specialists we work with use safe sampling methods and UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis, giving you a legally reliable result you can act on, whether that means leaving the material safely in place, managing it, or arranging removal.

Asbestos Testing FAQs

How does asbestos testing work?

A trained surveyor takes small samples of the suspect material under controlled conditions and sends them to an accredited laboratory. There, each sample is examined under a microscope to confirm whether asbestos is present and identify the type. You get a written report, so you know exactly what you're dealing with before any work goes ahead.

Can I test for asbestos myself?

It's not something you should do yourself. Taking samples can release fibres and put your health at risk. Professional testing uses controlled sampling methods and accredited laboratory analysis, which is far safer and gives you a legally reliable result you can actually act on.

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.
