Asbestos Testing Cost: Affordable Safety Solutions
Discovering the presence of asbestos in your home or workplace can be concerning. At Identifibre we understand the importance of quick, reliable and affordable asbestos testing. Our services are designed to give you peace of mind at an affordable price.
Identifibre cater to various needs with our range of service options including a same-day turnaround, next-day results and our standard service that delivers within up to 5 working days. This flexibility ensures you receive timely and accurate information to make informed decisions about your property, regardless of how urgent your situation is.
Understanding Asbestos Testing Costs
We understand the importance of flexibility and efficiency in asbestos testing, which is why we offer three turnaround times to accommodate all budget and timing needs:
- Same Day Turnaround: For urgent cases where results are needed promptly. This service can be provided for most samples, provided that they are submitted by midday.
- Next Day Turnaround: A swift option that balances speed with cost.
- Standard Turnaround: Our most economical option, delivering results within up to 5 working days.
For composite materials such as dust, soil and mulch, more detailed and time consuming preparation and analysis is involved, so a Standard Turnaround Time is offered.

A small sample is all that is required for analysis of most materials, approximately the size of a 20c piece, however asbestos isn’t evenly distributed in vinyl tiles so to get an accurate result a larger sample of approximately 10x10cm or the size of a business card is required.
For soil or mulch samples, it is required that the sample does not exceed 150g in weight.
Contact Identifibre to speak to a consultant prior to collecting samples to gain further information regarding sample requirements and safe sampling procedures.
