Asbestos refers to a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in building materials for their durability and fire-resistant properties.

However, asbestos fibres can pose serious health risks when inhaled, potentially leading to conditions such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

It’s important to note that asbestos is only hazardous when it is disturbed, causing fibres to become airborne and inhalable.

For this reason, sample collection and testing should always be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure safety and accuracy.

The National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) is a globally recognised governing body for testing organisations. NATA accreditation ensures that we consistently meet the highest standards of accuracy and reliability in our testing services.

We are currently in the process of obtaining NATA accreditation for our mobile laboratory.

We have a range of different testing options from full property, all inclusive inspections to single sample options.

To ensure you get the most out of our services, our friendly staff can discuss the best option for you at the time of your enquiry.

We service throughout Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast with plans to expand interstate very soon.

We pride ourselves on being different from the rest in our industry!

While traditional laboratory testing at other facilities can take up to a week to return results, Asbestest provides same-day results for all standard tests.

For analysis that fall outside our standard timeframe (such as ashing which involves burning the sample in a furnace for a number of hours), our knowledgeable field staff will clearly explain the expected timeframe for results.

Yes, when conducted by qualified professionals like our team, asbestos testing is safe.

We take the safety of our staff, our clients and our community very seriously. We adhere to strict safety protocols to ensure there is no risk to you or the environment.

We specialise in asbestos testing in building materials so we don’t offer soil or air testing, at this stage.

It is recommended that we manage the full process, including sample collection, analysis, and disposal. However, DropBox sample options are available for clients who are competent to collect their own samples.

We also conduct most sample analysis onsite so we make the process as streamline as possible for clients.

While we don’t provide removal services, we can recommend licensed asbestos removalists in your area to ensure safe asbestos removal.
