Asbestos Air Monitoring

When asbestos is disturbed, microscopic fibres can be released into the air. These fibres are hazardous if inhaled, and because you can’t see them, the only way to prove that an area is safe is through air monitoring.

At Strata Asbestos Surveying, we arrange all types of asbestos air monitoring using independent UKAS-accredited analytical companies. This guarantees that results are impartial, reliable, and fully compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) and HSE guidance (HSG248: The Analysts’ Guide).

Background Monitoring
Checks normal fibre levels before, during, or after asbestos work, giving reassurance that activities aren’t causing contamination.

Leak Monitoring
Tests around asbestos enclosures to confirm they are airtight and protecting adjacent areas.

Personal Monitoring
Measures individual workers’ exposure to ensure protection is effective and exposures remain below the legal control limit.

Clearance Monitoring
Conducted after asbestos removal. Only when results are below the clearance threshold (0.01 fibres per cm³) can a Certificate of Reoccupation be issued.

Reassurance Monitoring
Provides peace of mind after minor works, encapsulation, or accidental disturbance that the area is safe to re-enter.

We only use independent, accredited analysts — ensuring impartial results.
