How is an asbestos inspection is carried out?
- Identification of building materials suspected to contain asbestos
- Description of the condition of the suspected asbestos containing materials
- Identification of urgent and serious safety hazards
If the inspection includes Sampling services, we will safely remove small (20c piece) size samples of building materials.
We will seal the area affected by the sample removal and we always select unobtrusive, low risk locations to remove samples wherever possible.
Before we leave, we will speak with you regarding any suspected Asbestos containing materials which we believe are highly likely to have a positive lab result and which may be in a condition that means that they are an urgent and serious safety hazard.
Lab analysis of samples may take 1-3 working days.
After that time a full report including the confirmed findings from the lab results will be provided. In the report we will discuss safe asbestos management and recommendations regarding safe removal of asbestos.
As we have no financial relationship with any Asbestos Removal company you are assured of impartial advice free of the financial bias a removal company may have.
