Asbestos Air Testing and Monitoring across Lancashire
Weaving sheds, stone terraces, coastal guest houses and farm buildings with cement sheet roofs make Lancashire one of the busiest areas for asbestos surveys and removal.
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.
When you need it
- After someone has accidentally drilled or broken an asbestos material
