Asbestos surveys include intrusive (sampling and analysis) and non-intrusive methods of analysis of building materials to determine if the building materials contain any asbestos products. The surveys include careful examination of various building materials by a competent person and recording of the findings.
Asbestos Inspection
Consultants at K2 Consulting Group are experienced in undertaking asbestos inspections in residential, commercial and industrial properties. Asbestos in residential properties can be present in several locations. If you are planning to purchase a property (both commercial and industrial), undertake renovation or demolition works, or you are just not sure about the couple of suspected fibro fragments you have found in the backyard, we can assist you in testing for asbestos.
We undertake asbestos testing in a NATA accredited laboratory and our reports are issued by licenced signatories. Our charges are nominal, and we aim to provide results the following day without surcharges. There are no hidden charges for processing the samples or batch fees.
Sample collection methods are much important due to possible false positives from cross-contamination or false-negatives from improper sampling techniques.
We undertake asbestos testing in residential, commercial and industrial properties in and around Sydney region.
If you would like to have your sample tested for asbestos, please contact K2 Consulting Group on 1300 523 000.
