Asbestos Air Testing and Monitoring across Merseyside
Dock warehouses, Victorian terraces, 1960s system-built schools and huge post-war estates mean asbestos is a daily issue for Merseyside landlords and contractors.
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
- At the end of licensed removal (four-stage clearance)
- To reassure staff, tenants or parents after an incident
- Before and during removal works
- To check for leaks around an enclosure
What you get
- Background and reassurance air tests
- Leak and personal monitoring during works
- Four-stage clearance via independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Written results and certificate
