If you are unsure as to whether a material contains asbestos the only way to identify this is for a small sample to be taken and for the material to be analysed under a microscope for asbestos fibres. The process itself involves a qualified asbestos surveyor visiting the site and taking a sample of the suspect material – this sample is then analysed at a UKAS accredited laboratory. Typically the process takes between 24-48 hours.
