Why AC&MS
Independent consultancy. Our own UKAS-accredited laboratory. A coordinated service.
Many asbestos companies survey, then send samples away to someone else’s laboratory. AC&MS does things differently: established in 2003, with our own UKAS-accredited laboratory since 2005, our surveyors, analysts and project managers work together, so our own lab helps us control turnaround times and provide a coordinated service from first visit to final certificate.
- Independent consultancy. Impartial advice, and independent of the licensed contractors whose work we test and sign off.
