Tell us about the project

Send the address, rooms, suspect materials and timeline. We confirm the sampling scope and quote before booking.

We collect the samples

Leave suspect material in place for the technician. We collect the agreed samples for laboratory analysis.

Review your results

Written results are available 5 to 7 business days after testing. We explain the findings for the materials sampled.

Results apply to the materials sampled. Let us know about any contractor or building-management requirements before the visit.

Identify additions and accessory structures

For a Kensington renovation, distinguish the original house, rear addition and any separate garage or workshop in the work plan. Finishes can change where two building phases meet, so list the flooring, walls or ceilings to be disturbed in each area.

A condominium or apartment request also needs the unit and the manager’s access instructions. Share previous reports and identify which building or room each report actually covers before assuming it addresses the new project.

01

Original rooms and additions

Separate the original building from later additions in your project description. Even when finishes look alike, different installation histories can change which materials need consideration.

02

Separate buildings

List a guest house, workshop, detached garage or other structure separately from the main home. Give each building’s materials, work plan and access arrangements.

03

Condominium and association access

Give the unit number and the rooms involved. Identify any ceiling, wall or utility space controlled by the association, and share its testing requirements before the visit.

Planning asbestos testing in Kensington

  • Original rooms and additions

    Mark the rooms in each construction phase on your renovation plan. Include any earlier reports and note exactly which areas those reports covered.

  • Separate buildings

    Identify the correct driveway, gate and building entrance. A request for the main house does not automatically include materials in every structure on the property.

  • Condominium and association access

    Arrange building entry and permission for sampling. Include parking, elevator or appointment-hour instructions when they affect access to the requested material.

Material testing. Clear findings.

NextDay Inspect tests building materials for asbestos. We do not provide asbestos air testing or abatement. If a sample is positive, the report helps you discuss management or removal with a qualified asbestos professional.

Leave suspect materials in place

Please do not cut, scrape or collect your own sample. Arrange access and share your project details before the visit. A photograph or the age of a home cannot establish whether a material contains asbestos.

Asbestos testing questions in Kensington

Can I reuse an older asbestos report for a Kensington addition?
Share the report before booking. It may help if it identifies the same material and area involved in your work. A result for an original room does not automatically describe finishes in a later addition.
Does a quote cover every building at my Kensington address?
The quote covers the agreed scope. Name each structure and the materials you want considered before booking so the team can confirm access, sample needs and pricing. One address can still contain several distinct projects.
How much does asbestos material testing cost?
Request a quote for the agreed scope. Testing includes up to three samples, and additional samples are $95 each. Share any contractor or building-management requirements before booking.
When will I receive the results?
Written results are available 5 to 7 business days after testing. Let us know about your renovation or inspection deadline so the office can confirm the arrangements.
Do you remove asbestos or test the air?
No. NextDay Inspect provides asbestos material testing, not air testing or abatement. A positive material result can help you discuss management or removal with a qualified asbestos professional.
