Hello Martin, we test all layers and report an averaged result

I understand some flooring adhesive contained asbestos as well as the tiles. Can you test if the asbestos is just in the tiles, or also in the glue?
at 9:48 pm
Yes we can. It would be easier for us if you scrape the glue and submit it as one sample, and the tile as another sample

I have a 60+ years old house and under my chair in my office is a patch of floor covering that has worn down to the plywood. Do you send someone out to check it our or do I need to cut out a piece? If asbestos is in the flooring, do I more than likely have already breathed it in and how to get a sample without breathing more in?

Sorry, we do not visit houses. Please ask you home inspector or a handyman to help
