Mobile on-site testing · Australia's first

We bring the lab to you. Answers on-site, in seconds.

Asbestos Watch was Australia's first mobile asbestos testing service. Instead of posting samples away and waiting weeks, our technicians screen suspect materials right at your property with the Thermo microPHAZIR analyzer — so you get an answer on the spot, and a certificate of analysis the same day.

Is mobile testing a service, or part of an inspection?

Both — it's how we test. Mobile on-site testing is the technology our technicians use during every visit, whether you've booked a full property inspection or just need a single material checked. It isn't a separate thing you choose instead of an inspection; it's what makes our inspections fast. If you want the whole property assessed, book a Property Inspection. If you'd rather collect a sample yourself, a Postal Sample is the cheapest option. Either way, when we're on-site, the microPHAZIR does the testing.

How on-site testing works

Our technician comes to your property with the mobile testing unit. Suspect materials are scanned with the handheld Thermo microPHAZIR analyzer, which screens for asbestos in seconds — no sanding, no breaking, and only a tiny scrape taken where needed, with the area sealed afterwards. You get an immediate indication on the spot instead of waiting days or weeks for a laboratory.

What the microPHAZIR analyzer is

The microPHAZIR is a professional handheld analyzer that rapidly screens and identifies suspect materials in the field. It lets our technicians give you a same-visit reading rather than sending everything off-site first. It's a screening tool: where a formal, certificate-grade result is required, the sample is confirmed by our NATA-accredited laboratory — and the certificate of analysis is issued the same day.

Screening on-site, certified by the lab

On-site screening gives you a fast, practical answer — ideal when you need to make a decision quickly about a renovation, a purchase or a repair. For results you can rely on for a property transaction or compliance record, the certificate of analysis from our NATA-accredited laboratory is the formal document. You get the speed of on-site screening and the assurance of accredited confirmation, without waiting weeks for either.

Why on-site testing is faster

Traditional asbestos testing means collecting a sample, posting it to a laboratory, and waiting — often a week or more — for a result. Our mobile unit removes the wait: the testing happens where you are, the moment we're there. That's the difference between finding out next week and finding out today, which matters when work is on hold or a sale is moving.
