Identifying the location, type, and condition of asbestos is the critical first step in managing risk and meeting legal requirements. Our thorough surveys give you the information you need to make informed decisions.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An essential check before buying a property, helping you identify potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: The legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. Our surveyors identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a report and register to help you manage them safely.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: A legally mandated, intrusive survey you must complete before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work begins. This protects your workers and ensures compliance.
• Re-inspections: We carry out scheduled re-inspections to monitor the condition of previously identified asbestos, keeping your management plan up to date and effective.

If you've found a material you suspect contains asbestos, do not disturb it. Our team can take a sample safely and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This provides you with a definitive result and certificate, so you know exactly what you're dealing with. We commonly test materials such as:

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