Samples are logged and sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory.
You receive a report describing what was sampled and found.

Local context
Most Redlands bookings are owner-occupier and small investor housing through Cleveland, Capalaba, Thornlands and the Point suburbs. It is usually a landlord who has had a tenancy go wrong, or a buyer who wants a property screened before they are committed to it.
The bay islands are the exception to everything. Access is by barge, which changes the shape of the visit and the scheduling, so island bookings need more lead time and the price reflects the travel. Call rather than booking online for anything on the islands and we will work out a time that fits the timetable.
DIY testing kits
A kit is a cheaper way to satisfy your own curiosity. It is not a substitute for documented sampling.

Which kit suits Cleveland
Mainland Redlands housing is a mixed bag, so match the kit to the age of the property rather than its size. If you are on the islands and sampling it yourself, a kit still posts to you normally.

Optional expert support
Book a 30–45 minute session for sampling day. We guide you through which surfaces to choose, how to take the sample, and when a DIY result is not enough.

Common questions
Yes, but not as a standard booking. Barge access changes the scheduling and the travel cost, so call us rather than booking online and we will find a time that fits the timetable.
No. Mainland Redlands gets the same laboratory turnaround as the rest of South East Queensland.
Assume not. Because you collect the samples yourself, a kit does not carry independent chain of custody, which is what QCAT (the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal) would generally expect. For a dispute, book documented on-site sampling instead.
Before you order
Where a test includes laboratory work, the analysis is carried out by a NATA-accredited laboratory and you receive a written result.
Kits post to any Australian address with everything needed to take the sample, including step-by-step instructions.
We will tell you when a kit is not the right tool for your situation, even when that means not selling you one.
