Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
