hi
just wondered if anyone has used the diy asbestos testing process where you post off a sample of the possible asbestos material and have it tested in a lab and they send you the results back.
most likely will be using a local firm to come out and take sample and provide test results from lab analysis but I have also found a couple of companies on web providing test results direct from samples you send them and wondered what experience / views there might be on here.
costings so far approx £81 inc vat for local firm and £25 for postal lab result. (by Cornerstone asbestos testing on web)
we have about 9m2 of an older extension clad in what we believe to be asbestos based tiles/slates (they are about 3mm thick and similar in size to standard slate tiles.
thanks d
