- Serving All Property Types: We have the skills and equipment to manage projects of any size, whether it’s a single asbestos sheet in a garden shed or a large-scale site survey for a commercial building.
Identifying where asbestos might be present, what type it is, and its condition is the crucial first step in managing any risk. Our detailed surveys provide you with all the vital information you need to keep your property safe and comply with the law.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An essential check if you're looking to purchase a property in Harpenden. This survey can uncover hidden asbestos costs and potential health risks before you commit.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: This is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We’ll pinpoint any asbestos-containing materials, assess their condition, and provide a clear report and register to help you manage them safely within your building.
- Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: A legally mandated, intrusive survey that absolutely must be completed before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work begins on your property to identify any hidden asbestos that could be disturbed.
- Re-inspections: We can carry out regular re-inspections to monitor the condition of asbestos you've already identified, making sure your management plan remains current and effective.
If you've discovered a material you suspect contains asbestos, it's vital not to disturb it. Our qualified team can safely take a sample from your Harpenden property and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You'll then receive a definitive result and certificate, confirming whether asbestos is present. We commonly test materials such as:
- Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement (found in garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters)
- Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues
