You've probably heard about the dangers of asbestos fibres. Disturbing materials containing asbestos can release these tiny fibres into the air, which are hazardous if inhaled. While a DIY kit might seem appealing, taking a sample yourself carries significant risks if you're not properly trained or equipped. Our professional asbestos sampling service eliminates this danger. We use specialised methods to safely collect samples, stopping any fibres from spreading and protecting your health and the health of those around you. It's the only way to get a definitive result from a UKAS-accredited laboratory, giving you true peace of mind about your domestic or commercial property.

Getting your suspected asbestos tested in Sunbury couldn't be simpler with Southern Asbestos. When you call us, our experienced team will arrange a convenient time to visit your property. We arrive with all the necessary safety gear and follow strict procedures to carefully take a small sample of the suspicious material. We then double-bag and securely package this sample before sending it to an independent, UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Once the results are back – usually within a few days – we'll explain them clearly to you and provide a certificate confirming whether asbestos is present. This service is carried out with the utmost care and professionalism.

Asbestos was a popular building material right up until the year 2000, so if your property in Sunbury was built or refurbished before then, there's a good chance it could contain asbestos. Our sampling team often finds it in places like:

• Garage and shed roofs (asbestos cement sheets)
• Textured ceilings and walls (often called Artex)
• Vinyl floor tiles and the backing paper underneath
• Guttering, soffits, and fascias
• Old pipe insulation and boiler flues
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) panels
  No matter where you suspect it, our experts can safely identify and sample these materials to give you a definitive answer.
