HOW IT WORKS
TTL have developed a cost effective and simple way to test suspect material in a domestic or commercial property. Our test kits contain all the PPE, step by step instructions and asbestos waste disposal instructions you will need to allow you to carry out sampling safely and confidently in your own home or business premises.
Using the pre-paid envelope, the sample(s) are returned to us, and are analysed in our UKAS accredited laboratory.
You will receive a certificate of analysis 24-48 hours from receipt of delivery, which are emailed to your nominated email address. Once you receive your results, TTL will call you to discuss any issues you may have and guide you through further steps, if needed.

Ceiling tiles and wall panels should be checked for existing damage as samples are more easily obtained from this type of location. Ensure any paper on both sides is included. Recommended size of sample 5cm2. |
A representative portion of the material should be taken for analysis. |
Due to the high density of the cement matrix, it is preferable to take a sample from an area of existing damage. Recommended size of sample 5cm2. |
Due to the irregular distribution of asbestos within this material (1 sample is recommended for each occurrence and each surface/pattern type). Samples taken from the same room can be placed in one bag to form a composite sample of the material. |
Using a sharp knife cut out small sections of floor tiles to full depth and taking care to obtain any adhesive material below (it is recommended 1 sample should be taken for each colour of floor tile). Asbestos content is low and any fibre release is likely to be negligible. |

Asbestos sampling as a career is dangerous as it can lead to unnecessary exposure unless professional training is given. TTL advise against using multiple home testing kits and for your safety and those who may be affected by your actions TTL provide full detail on how to use the home test kit as a one off. If in doubt you are urged to commission a survey by a qualified surveyor who is both experienced and insured.
For clarity, our home test kit contains the equipment which a trained surveyor may or may not need. Although TTL is an UKAS accredited organisation for asbestos surveys, the home test kit is outside of this accreditation, however, the results from the analytical lab are within our testing accreditation.
