Asbestos testing for Sheffield clients through ASM's Sunderland laboratory
A clear route for suitably collected, sealed and labelled samples, backed by professional Sheffield sampling where collection is still required.
A laboratory result answers a question about the accepted representative sample. It does not establish whether asbestos is present elsewhere in the room, property or planned work area.
Choose the correct route before a sample reaches the laboratory
If no suitable sample exists, arrange professional collection. If the question concerns a whole building or intrusive work, choose the appropriate survey instead.
Sheffield sampling visit
ASM attends, records the material location, collects a representative sample and arranges analysis.
Bulk-analysis route
Suitably collected, sealed and labelled samples can be submitted under the confirmed booking and sample-acceptance process.
Sunderland laboratory
ASM's UKAS-accredited bulk-analysis laboratory is at Sunderland Head Office, not in Sheffield.
One sample, one defined question
The result applies to the submitted representative material and cannot clear unrelated layers, rooms or concealed areas.
Bulk testing has a defined scope
It can
Identify asbestos detected in the accepted representative sample and report the asbestos type where detected.
It cannot
Confirm an entire property is asbestos-free, assess condition elsewhere, replace a survey or determine a removal work category by itself.
From enquiry to a usable outcome
