Asbestos sampling and laboratory testing.
When you need to investigate a material that may contain asbestos, ask a local inspector about sampling and laboratory analysis.
Find an inspector offering this service →When is this useful?
A photograph or visual inspection cannot establish whether a material contains asbestos. Discuss the material, its condition and your plans before arranging sampling.
What should I arrange?
Your inspector confirms the sampling method, access, laboratory arrangements, fees and expected results timing. Do not disturb a suspect material to collect a sample yourself.
What are the limitations?
Laboratory results relate to the samples submitted. They do not automatically establish the condition of every material in the building or replace a specialist survey for a larger project.
Services vary by location. Agree the scope and quote directly with your inspector.
