Why Test for Asbestos?
Asbestos-containing materials that are in good condition and undisturbed generally pose low risk. However, the moment these materials are cut, drilled, sanded, or broken, dangerous fibres can be released into the air. Testing helps you identify risks before starting any work.
You Should Test If You’re
- Planning renovations or home improvements
- Preparing for demolition
- Buying or selling a property
- Concerned about damaged or deteriorating materials
- Required to provide an asbestos report for council or insurance
Our Testing Process
- Visual Inspection: Our trained inspectors examine your property to identify suspected asbestos-containing materials based on age, appearance, and location.
- Sample Collection: We carefully collect small samples of suspected materials using safe handling procedures to minimise fibre release.
- Laboratory Analysis: Samples are sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory for definitive analysis and identification.
- Detailed Report: You receive a comprehensive report outlining the findings, locations, condition assessment, and recommendations.
What Happens Next?
If asbestos is confirmed, we’ll discuss your options. In many cases, asbestos in good condition can be safely managed in place. If removal is required, we provide a detailed quote and can schedule the work at a time that suits you.
