Air monitoring is a critical requirement before, during, and after asbestos removal works. It is used to assess potential exposure, confirm the effectiveness of control measures, and ensure airborne fibre levels remain within acceptable limits throughout the project.

We also undertake post-removal air testing as part of the Stage 4 clearance process, following completion of the four-stage clearance procedure required under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This provides formal verification that the area is safe for reoccupation.

All asbestos air monitoring is carried out in accordance with relevant HSE guidance (including HSG248 “Asbestos: The analysts’ guide for sampling, analysis and clearance procedures”) and must be performed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Our services meet these requirements, ensuring full regulatory compliance and traceable, quality-assured results.

Our environmental inspections identify the appropriate course of action based on site conditions and risk level. We also provide clear, practical guidance to support a compliant and effective air monitoring strategy at every stage of the project.

Different types of air monitoring for asbestos

We offer a range of different air testing types for asbestos:

Background Monitoring to establish the amount of asbestos in the air before work starts
Leak Monitoring to examine the air outside the enclosure while asbestos is being removed
Reassurance Monitoring to show the air is free from fibres
4-Stage Clearance Monitoring, so you can get your Certificate of Reoccupation
Personal Monitoring to check employee exposure levels

The severe health risks presented by asbestos in buildings means asbestos air tests are a vital safety step. So pick a professional – this is no job for amateurs.

What is 4-stage clearance monitoring?

Clearance Monitoring must be carried out by a UKAS accredited company after licensable removal, and it involves four separate stages:

Stage 1 – A preliminary check of the condition of the site and the standard the job has been completed to
Stage 2 – A detailed visual inspection inside the enclosure where work is taking place
Stage 3 – The air monitoring itself
Stage 4 – A final assessment post-enclosure, once the working area has been dismantled

The area is only safe for people to enter once all four stages are completed.
