What Does Asbestos Testing Involve?

Whether you're planning renovations or concerned about older materials in your home or commercial premises, getting tested by a trusted, accredited provider like AIB is essential for your safety and legal compliance.

Why Is Asbestos Testing Important?
Asbestos was widely used in UK buildings up until 1999. If disturbed, materials containing asbestos can release dangerous fibres into the air, posing serious long-term health risks.By law, any building constructed before 2000 should be assessed for asbestos before renovation or demolition work begins. AIB provides clear, reliable testing to confirm if asbestos is present and advise on next steps.
