Start with testing before making assumptions

If a material in your property raises concerns about asbestos, appearance alone is not a dependable basis for deciding what to do. Testing addresses a specific question: whether the material being examined contains asbestos. A survey can help establish the scope of that question when more than one material or area is involved.

For Bellflower customers considering work on a property, that distinction matters. Replacing one section of flooring presents a different set of questions from planning changes across several rooms. Start by describing the material, the area involved and the work you are considering, rather than assuming every project needs the same approach.

What to do when you suspect asbestos

The first step is to avoid turning a concern into unnecessary disturbance. Do not cut, drill, sand or break a suspect material simply to investigate it. Instead, gather the information you already have and contact the business to discuss testing.

1. Pause work on the material — Leave the suspect material undisturbed while you seek guidance about testing.
2. Describe the situation — Explain where the material is, whether it appears damaged and what work is planned.
3. Gather existing records — Have any previous test results, surveys or relevant project documents ready to discuss.
4. Ask about the appropriate scope — Discuss whether the concern involves a particular material or calls for a broader survey.

You do not need to identify a material yourself before making contact. A clear description of your concern is a useful starting point, especially when you are still deciding how much work the project will involve.

Match the testing question to the planned work

Useful testing starts with a clear purpose. You might be investigating an unfamiliar material, preparing for alterations or reviewing an existing report. Explain that purpose at the outset so the discussion stays focused on the decision you need to make.

The boundaries of the proposed work also matter. Results associated with one sample should not automatically be treated as an answer about every similar-looking material elsewhere in a property. When reviewing testing, pay attention to what was examined and how that relates to the areas your project could disturb.

Questions from Bellflower customers

Can I tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it?

Appearance alone cannot reliably establish whether a material contains asbestos. Avoid disturbing it to investigate; discuss testing instead.

Should I enquire before renovation work starts?

Yes. Raising the concern before work begins allows you to discuss testing before suspect materials are disturbed. Explain which parts of the property the planned work will affect.

Is a survey the same as testing one material?

Not necessarily. Testing may address a particular material, while a survey can involve a broader scope. Describe your project and ask which approach fits the question you need answered.

What should I have ready when I contact you?

Prepare a description of the material, its location, any planned work and any existing reports. Mention relevant project or insurance requirements as well.
