Have these ready before you start — not included in the box

A few household items the instructions ask for, which don't travel well in a kit:

  • A spray bottle of water with a drop of washing-up liquid, to dampen the material before sampling
  • A sharp chisel or scraper for textured coatings, or pliers for boards and tiles
  • A permanent marker to fill in the bag labels
  • Heavy-duty tape to seal glove cuffs to your coveralls and, with a little paint if you prefer, to seal the surface where the sample was taken

Basic kit only: you will also need your own disposable gloves, an FFP3 face mask and disposable coveralls, plus a plastic drop sheet, wet wipes and heavy-duty bags for the waste. If you don't already have them, the Standard kit includes all of these for £14.95 more.
