SAMPLING KITS

The testing kit has been put together to allow you to take very small samples to be tested for Asbestos containing materials.

The most common items sent to us for testing are listed below:

• Artex or decorative coatings

• Corrugated asbestos, such as garage or shed roofs (Note that most people believe that all corrugated cement is asbestos, this is NOT TRUE).

• Insulation from boilers or attics. Soffit boards, roof tiles and under cloaking.

The kit includes easy to follow instructions, a mask with a FFP3 filter that will prevent inhalation of airborne fibres of Asbestos, zip style seal sample bags to place the sample in and a return address label to return the samples.

The samples will be analysed at a UKAS approved lab and the results will be e-mailed to you with a brief description of what action can be taken to resolve your asbestos issue.

The price for a single kit is £50 + VAT

Should you require more than one sample each additional sample will be £25 + VAT.

Note that we are a Asbestos Surveying company and not a lab, the samples are analysed by an independent UKAS lab and our advice is free as part of the package.

Do not mistake this for a lab analysis package where you will get your sample analysed and have a sheet of paper that tells you it is Chrysotile, Crocidolite or Amosite Asbestos and you will have to work out what to do next.
