Full Asbestos Testing Kits (4 Samples)

We have stared at our 'artex' looking ceilings for over 10 years, ever since we bought this house, occasionally wondering if they had asbestos in them but not being sure how to find out, short of paying a fortune for a home visit by an asbestos expert. Read the other reviews on this testing kit and thought it was worth a try. A fast and efficient service, which tells you what you need to know. (Ceilings fine, garage internal roof panels not!).

Everything you need to safely collect samples at home, instructions are clear and easy to follow. The laboratory emailed my certificate through the same day that my sample parcel arrived there. Worth every penny.

Full package arrives, clear instructions and very fast turn around on the sampling - can't ask for more than that.

This company have not provided any sample test results and have ignored all phone calls, voice mails and e-mails. I've given them many opportunities to rectify or explain why but sadly they have not responded and seem to be a cowboy outfit.

I would advise anyone thinking of ordering this product to read all of this. The product itself was fine and easy to use. It was the company that tested my sample. An employee at North Star Environmental cross contaminated my sample. I was told that the sample I gave contained Asbestos. It had come from a product I had been exposed to for many years in a decaying state and removed recently. They led me to believe I had come into contact with asbestos. I had to register this with my doctor as is advised. Due to me having Asthma and being exposed over numerous years and a posative result, I had to have a chest xray!!!. It turned out after I called in a company to sample it again for a removal price that it came back negative. I had another person take a sample again which also came back negative. I contacted North Star Environmental to find out why they said it contained asbestos when 2 other companies say otherwise. They sent me a letter that said they tested my sample again and it came back negative. They explained what happened, how an employee had cross contaminated the sample and said they would be in touch. I never heard from them again!!! They then ignored my emails as they were obviously too bothered for their own reputation never mind what they put me through mentaly and physically. They never even offered a refund.! They obviously can not be trusted to test correctly and have zero respect for their customers wellbeing.Although Amazon gave me a refund after complaining to them, they too have just decided to ignore my complaint it would seem.Testing for asbestos is very dangerous and should not be taken lightly. Do not fall for these cheap options for the sake of saving a few pound. Especially when you end up with a company like North Star Environmental testing the sample. It really doesn't cost much more to have someone come in a take care of everything.If you have used this product, can you trust their result now?? Be careful!!!!!!!!This is a warning from my experience and a very small explanation of what I have been through. If you buy this product then you do so at your own risk.

Well happy with this service. Highly recommended. Process is well instructed and results back fast.
