Each test serves a specific purpose, meticulously carried out by our highly trained analysts and processed via a UKAS-accredited laboratory for unparalleled accuracy in fibre counting.

• Background Air Testing: Conducted before any work begins, this test establishes baseline air quality. It’s crucial for identifying existing fibre levels in an area where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present or suspected, providing a benchmark for safety.
• Leak Air Testing: Essential during asbestos removal, this test verifies the integrity of the containment measures. It detects any airborne fibres that might have escaped the sealed work area, ensuring the safety of adjacent spaces throughout the removal process.
• Reassurance Air Testing: After non-licensable asbestos removal work (e.g., asbestos cement garages, Artex), a reassurance test confirms that the area is clean and safe for reoccupation. It verifies that no significant levels of asbestos fibres remain in the air.
• Four-Stage Clearance (4-Stage Clearance): This is a mandatory and rigorous process required following all licensable asbestos removal projects. It involves visual inspections, air sampling, and detailed fibre counting to ensure the enclosure is thoroughly clean and safe. A reoccupation certificate is issued only when all four stages are successfully passed.
• Personal Air Monitoring: Used to assess the exposure levels of individuals working with or near asbestos, this monitoring helps ensure workers are adequately protected and comply with occupational exposure limits. It’s a vital tool for safeguarding worker health.

The potential health consequences of inhaling asbestos fibres – including devastating diseases like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer – underscore the critical importance of accurate air testing.
