Asbestos sampling in Sheffield for specific suspect materials
Controlled on-site collection from a clearly identified suspect material, traceable transfer and accredited bulk analysis through ASM's Sunderland Head Office laboratory.
If a suitable sample has not already been collected by a competent person, arrange professional collection rather than drilling, scraping, snapping or cutting it yourself.
Use sampling when the question is material-specific
Targeted sampling can answer a defined material question. A whole-building or intrusive-work question usually requires the appropriate survey.
Domestic materials
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets, soffits, flues, boards and other defined suspect products.
Commercial property
Ceiling products, service boxing, gaskets, plant components, roofing and cladding in a recorded location.
Construction enquiries
A suspect material encountered during maintenance or strip-out while the affected work is stopped and assessed.
Clear limitation
One result applies to the representative sample and recorded location; it cannot establish that the rest of a building is asbestos-free.
Sheffield collection; Sunderland analysis
Samples collected in Sheffield are analysed through ASM's UKAS-accredited Sunderland Head Office laboratory within the applicable testing scope.

Collect
Use a controlled technique appropriate to the material and record the exact sample location.
Analyse
