Finding out where asbestos might be lurking, what type it is, and its condition is always the critical first step. Our thorough surveys give you the clear information you need to manage any risks and make sure you're legally compliant.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Thinking of buying a property in Hertford? This survey is an essential check, uncovering potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks before you commit.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: If you own or manage a non-domestic property, this is a legal requirement. We identify any ACMs, check their condition, and provide a clear report and register to help you manage them safely over time.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning any building work, big or small? This intrusive survey is legally mandated before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work begins, protecting everyone on site.
• Regular Re-inspections: We can carry out scheduled re-inspections to keep an eye on any asbestos we've already found, making sure your management plan remains up to date and effective.

Found something you suspect might be Artex or another asbestos-containing material? The most important thing is: do not disturb it. Our trained team can safely take a sample and send it off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You'll get a definitive result and a certificate, removing any guesswork. We regularly test materials like:

• Textured coatings (like Artex) on ceilings and walls
• Asbestos cement (often seen on garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, gutters)
• Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
• Pipe insulation and boiler flues
