Asbestos Testing and Sampling across Cumbria
Farm buildings with cement sheet roofs, shipyard and industrial sites on the west coast, and Lake District guest houses all need asbestos surveys before work starts.
Asbestos testing is the quickest way to answer one question: does this material contain asbestos, and if so which type? A trained sampler visits, wets the material to keep dust down, takes a small sample and seals the sample point.
Guide price: Site visit and 1 sample from £95 · extra samples from £25.
