Why get an asbestos inspection?
If you suspect asbestos during renovation, demolition, or property purchase, testing removes uncertainty. Certified sampling and air monitoring protect occupants, tradespeople, and future residents — and provide the documentation required by lenders, strata, and regulators.
- Bulk sampling (materials testing) to confirm presence/absence.
- Air monitoring to measure airborne fibre concentrations during or after works.
- Clearance testing when asbestos work is complete to confirm the area is safe to re‑occupy.
