Expert Asbestos Air Testing in Walton-on-Thames

Asbestos was once one of the most popular building materials in the construction industry, yet we now know that if disturbed during building work or demolition, it can be highly dangerous. Whilst it is not a legal requirement to remove asbestos, it is essential to monitor its existence.
We have an in-house team of analysts and state-of-the-art equipment to collect air samples, which are studied to determine the presence of asbestos fibres. We create a controlled environment so that only our team can access the site and ensure the protection of surrounding areas from contamination.
Once we have our findings, we can either assure you of the safety of your premises or advise you on what steps to take if asbestos poses a risk.
