With our expert service, you can identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) safely and take the right next steps.


What Is Asbestos Testing?

Asbestos testing (also known as asbestos sampling) involves taking small material samples from your property and sending them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. The goal is to determine whether asbestos is present and, if so, what type.

Our asbestos testing service in Hampshire provides clear, reliable results you can trust. We test for the six types of asbestos commonly found in UK buildings, including:

  • Chrysotile (white asbestos)

  • Amosite (brown asbestos)

  • Crocidolite (blue asbestos)

  • Tremolite, actinolite, and anthophyllite (less common forms)

Even though asbestos use was banned in the UK in 1999, many properties built before 2000 still contain asbestos materials in ceilings, insulation, flooring, pipe lagging, or wall panels. Testing is the only way to confirm whether asbestos is present and to plan safe management or removal.
