Asbestos Air Testing and Monitoring across Cheshire
Chemical works, salt-town industry, farm buildings and 1960s-70s housing estates keep asbestos surveys and removal in steady demand across Cheshire.
Air testing pumps a measured volume of air through a filter, which is then counted under a microscope. It shows whether fibre levels are below the clearance indicator of 0.01 fibres per cm3.
Guide price: Background or reassurance tests from £250.

Four checks by an independent analyst: that the job is complete and the site is in order, a thorough visual inspection inside the enclosure, air testing, and a final check once the enclosure has been taken down. It is required at the end of licensed work.
What reading is safe?
