Knowing if you have asbestos, where it is, and its condition, is the crucial first step. Our experienced surveyors provide the detailed information you need to manage risk, stay safe, and comply with the law in Dunstable.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An essential check if you're buying a property. We help identify potential hidden asbestos costs and safety issues before you commit.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: A legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We’ll identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a comprehensive report and register to help you manage them safely, keeping your business compliant.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning any building work? This legally mandated, intrusive survey must be completed before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition begins. It prevents dangerous surprises.
• Ongoing Re-inspections: We can carry out scheduled re-inspections to monitor the condition of identified asbestos, making sure your management plan remains current and effective.

If you've spotted a material you suspect might contain asbestos, the golden rule is: do not disturb it! Our team can safely take a sample for you. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, providing you with a definitive result and a certificate you can trust. We frequently test common materials like:

• Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls.
• Asbestos cement products – think old garage roofs, exterior wall panels, soffits, and gutters.
• Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper.
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) – often found in partition walls, fire doors, and ceilings.
• Pipe insulation and boiler flues in older heating systems.
  Knowing the type of asbestos is key to managing it correctly.
