Affordable DIY asbestos test?

edinburgher · 2016-04-18 10:56:12

I've been looking online for DIY asbestos tests (remove small sample, cover underlying area, send to a lab) and the going rate seems to be in the region of £55 for any required equipment and a couple of tests. Does anyone know of a more affordable (but reliable) supplier/lab? DIY costs are mounting!

To be honest, I would be using full PPE etc. regardless of what they say on the packet. There are some gambles that I'm just not willing to make!

I'd be really interested in hearing how you get on, PM me if you can find the time :beer:
