Suspect asbestos? Don’t guess — test.

Asbestos can be found in a wide variety of building materials, and it isn’t always possible to identify it simply by looking at it.

If you have discovered a material that you suspect may contain asbestos, our professional asbestos sampling service can help establish whether asbestos is present.

A trained surveyor will assess the material and, where appropriate, carefully obtain a representative sample. The sample is securely packaged and submitted for suitable laboratory analysis.

The results can establish whether asbestos is present and, where identified, determine the type of asbestos contained within the material.

Sampling can be particularly useful when a specific material needs to be confirmed before maintenance, repair, renovation or other work takes place.

Materials that may require investigation include:

• Textured coatings

• Floor tiles

• Cement products

• Insulation boards

• Roofing materials

• Pipe insulation

• Adhesives

• Panels and sheets

• Older building materials of unknown composition

If you’re unsure whether a material contains asbestos, stop work and contact BHT Environmental for professional advice.
