Methamphetamine residue testing
Composite or room-by-room surface sampling, laboratory analysis and results reported against the Australian clandestine drug laboratory remediation guidelines.
Available 24/7, Australia wide
Environmental Hygiene Testing
Methamphetamine residue sampling, mould, asbestos and lead paint testing, with laboratory analysis and plain English reports you can share with tenants, buyers or insurers.
In short
Environmental hygiene testing identifies whether a property is affected by methamphetamine residue, mould, asbestos or lead paint. Restart takes the samples on site, sends them to a laboratory and reports the results against the relevant Australian guidelines, usually within a few business days.
Testing removes the guesswork. Whether you suspect a property was used to manufacture or smoke methamphetamine, you can smell mould behind a wall, or you are planning works in an older home, a sample and a lab result tell you exactly what you are dealing with before you spend money.

FAQ
Testing questions, answered.
The questions owners, managers and investors ask us most about this service.
How much does meth testing cost?
A screening test on a standard residential property is the most affordable option and tells you whether residue is present. Detailed room-by-room sampling costs more but shows exactly which areas are affected, which can reduce the cost of decontamination. We quote both after a quick conversation about the property.
How long do laboratory results take?
Standard laboratory turnaround is typically two to five business days from sampling, with urgent processing available where a settlement or tenancy deadline is involved.
Should I test before buying or renting out a property?
Testing is worth considering if a property has had unexplained damage, strong chemical odours, frequent short tenancies, or if you are buying at auction with limited history. A clear result is also useful evidence for a landlord at the start of a tenancy.
