You simply cannot tell if a material contains asbestos just by looking at it. Many common building materials used extensively in Leicester properties built before the year 2000 could potentially harbour asbestos fibres. Disturbing these materials unknowingly can release dangerous fibres into the air, posing significant health risks. Professional asbestos testing provides the definitive answer you need. Whether you are planning renovations, purchasing a property, or simply worried about existing materials, reliable asbestos sampling allows you to make informed decisions and take the necessary precautions to protect occupants.

Our asbestos testing service in Leicester is straightforward and designed for minimal disruption, prioritising your safety. Here's how we typically proceed:

1. Initial Contact: You reach out to us with your concerns about a suspect material in your Leicester property.
2. Surveyor Visit: A fully trained and experienced surveyor will attend your property at a convenient time.
3. Safe Sample Collection: Our surveyor will meticulously and safely collect a small sample of the suspect material, using specialised techniques to prevent fibre release.
4. UKAS Accredited Laboratory Analysis: The collected sample is then securely transported to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for comprehensive analysis.
5. Formal Certification: Once the analysis is complete, you will receive a formal certificate confirming the presence or absence of asbestos fibres within the material. This clear documentation is vital for any subsequent actions.

Asbestos could be found in a wide variety of materials within your Leicester property. Our expert team is equipped to safely sample anything you suspect might contain asbestos. Common materials we test include:
