Description
Asbestos Kits UK - The Next Day Asbestos Testing Service
Asbestos has long been the cause of fatal cancers and medical conditions throughout the United Kingdom. Though asbestos was wholly banned in 1999, it took nearly a full century for this to occur, thanks in part to the incredibly wide range of industrial and domestic uses of asbestos-containing-materials (ACM’s). Our asbestos testing kit, is a quick, safe and reliable way of having samples of suspected asbestos containing materials analysed from a home or commercial premises.
With our fast turnaround you will receive your results within 24 hours from our UKAS accredited laboratory receiving your samples. This kit comes with the protective equipment, consumables and paperwork required to send a sample of any suspect material from your property for analysis at our UKAS accredited laboratory.
