Asbestos Testing

Our bulk asbestos samples analysis service is a quick and convenient way for companies to test suspect materials. We can visit your site and sample any suspect materials or you can submit your own samples to our in-house laboratory for asbestos identification. Results are usually available within 48 hours of delivery. We can however offer a 'fast track' and 'while you wait' service for more urgent situations.

Asbestos Survey and Management Limited holds UKAS accreditation for in-house asbestos testing in our own laboratory. Our lab ensures the rapid and fully traceable turnaround of both samples taken during asbestos surveys by our own asbestos surveyors and of third party samples sent to us for identification. Our trained analysts all hold British Occupational Hygiene (BOHS) P401 qualifications for the identification of asbestos in potential asbestos containing materials. To maintain our UKAS accreditation as a testing laboratory, we routinely participate in quality assurance tests to ensure all our analysts are delivering accurate asbestos identification and counts.

Sample identification is by polarized light microscopy (PLM) in accordance with HSG248 the analyst's guide for sampling, analysis and clearance procedures and Asbestos Survey and Management Limited Instruction Manual.
