When you have materials you suspect contain asbestos – maybe it's that old garage roof, some textured ceiling paint, or even pipe insulation – the safest thing to do is get it professionally tested. Our service in Ashford means we come to you. Our trained technicians carefully take samples of the suspected material, ensuring no fibres are released during the process. We then send these samples to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This isn't a DIY kit; it's a professional, safe, and reliable service designed to give you accurate results without putting you or your family at risk.

Getting your suspected materials tested with Southern Asbestos is straightforward and, crucially, safe. First, you get in touch, and we arrange a convenient time to visit your property in Ashford. Our experienced technician will arrive, equipped with all the necessary protective gear and specialised tools. They'll meticulously isolate the area around the suspected material, then take a small, controlled sample. We take every precaution to prevent fibre release. Once collected, the sample is securely packaged and transported directly to our trusted, independent UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. It's a precise, careful process from start to finish.

The backbone of our asbestos testing service is the laboratory analysis. We partner with UKAS-accredited labs, which means their testing methods and results meet the highest national standards for accuracy and reliability. Once your samples arrive at the lab, specialist analysts use advanced techniques to confirm the presence and type of asbestos fibres. You’ll receive a comprehensive report and certificate detailing the findings. This definitive answer means you can stop guessing and start making informed decisions about managing or removing asbestos, all based on solid, professional data.
