Common questions about Asbestos Surveys in Ravenshead
How long do the test results take?
24-48 working hours from when we take the sample.
Can you take samples from a house I plan to but that's not mine yet?
We can yes! All we do is contact the estate agents or homeowner and arrange a time to access the property. Most homeowners do not object to asbestos testing being carried out.
Can you tell if something contains asbestos from a photo?
No. We can give you an idea of whether we suspect asbestos , but we cannot give you an accurate answer from a photo. No one can! The only sure way to tell if something contains asbestos is by having a sample analysed by a UKAS Laboratory.
Do I legally need an Asbestos Survey?
For non-domestic properties built before the year 1999 - yes you legally need an asbestos survey.
Any property built before 1999 (including domestic) which is due to undergo major refurbishments or demolition also is legally required to have an asbestos survey.
Domestic property owners are not legally required to have an asbestos survey.

Asbestos are microscopic fibres which can cause life threatening illness when inhaled.
When a material containing asbestos is disturbed , it releases these tiny (invisible to the eye) fibres into the air. These fibres can be inhaled without you knowing - hence the name "Asbestos , the silent killer".
