In addition to the surveys listed we also provide a rapid response sampling service for the client that does not need a full survey, but wants to know if a specific component or material contains asbestos.

Often the results are needed quickly, and in order to offer a responsive service we work closely with a UKAS accredited laboratory to analyse samples promptly.

Examples of our clients who use this service are:
 
Social Housing providers
Local Authorities and Housing Associations are always under pressure to keep void periods to a minimum and turn repairs around fast. Sometimes a particular material or component may be suspected of containing asbestos and long delays in analysis may be costly in terms of lost rent and inconvenience for the tenant.

Commercial property managers/owners
Sometimes essential repairs are required to equipment or components, which may be encapsulated or enclosed with an asbestos containing material. A quick response is needed in order to progress the repair.

Builders carrying out refurbishment work
Contract delays are often expensive and down-time costs soon mount up. A fast analysis service helps to reduce delays.
