Asbestos contamination can cause health issues and cancer is also one of the diseases that can be caused by long and constant exposure to asbestos. Thus, asbestos detection in the house should be done as soon as its presence in suspected. The testing is done for the asbestos contaminated material and the air in the house. The material can be delivered for inspection to the asbestos inspection service or asbestos testing company can come and test the materials for asbestos fibres.

  Before taking any samples for the test to send to asbestos specialist, certain steps should be taken:
  • ·       Make sure that there is no scrapping, vibration or dusting of any kind around the surface you suspect contain asbestos. There is a risk of spread of asbestos fibres in the air because of these.
  • ·       Before taking the sample to deliver to asbestos testing laboratory neutralise the air around the material by spray water. Dilute dish detergent in the water into spray bottle and spray around the room.
  • ·       The asbestos abatement company Monmouth do not need a big sample of asbestos contaminated material. A one square inch sample is enough for testing. Put it safely in the zip lock bag. Date and address should be written on that bag. Seal the sample taken area with lacquer and spray around I with water spray and collect these on disposable cloth and dispose it.


The materials like tiles and flooring can have the asbestos fibres and if you have plans about repairing in those areas get the asbestos testing done. If the laboratory inspection says that there is asbestos contamination then call asbestos removal company South Wales to safely remove the asbestos.
