Finding out if, where, and what kind of asbestos is present is always the crucial first step. Our detailed asbestos surveys give you all the information you need to manage any risks and stay compliant with the law.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a new home in Ashford? This is a vital check. It helps uncover any hidden asbestos costs or safety concerns before you commit, giving you peace of mind.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: If you own a business or non-domestic property, this survey is a legal must-have. We'll identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), check their condition, and create a clear report and register to help you manage them safely moving forward.
- Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning any construction, renovation, or demolition work? This is a legally required, intrusive survey that absolutely has to happen before any work starts. It’s about keeping everyone safe.
- Asbestos Re-inspections: We can arrange regular re-inspections to keep an eye on any asbestos we've already found. This ensures your management plan stays current and effective over time.
If you've come across a material in your Ashford property that you suspect might contain asbestos, the most important thing is not to disturb it. Our expert team can safely collect a sample for you. We then send it off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for precise analysis. You'll get a definitive result and a certificate, so you know exactly what you're dealing with. We often test common materials like:
- Textured coatings (you might know it as Artex) on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement, frequently found in garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters
- Old vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues
Complete Asbestos Management: From Safe Removal to Reinstatement
Once asbestos is identified, you need a clear plan. We offer a full range of services to manage it safely and effectively, keeping your Ashford property protected.
- Safe & Certified Asbestos Removal: Our main service involves carefully removing non-licensed asbestos from all kinds of buildings. Our trained team follows strict safety steps to seal off the area, remove the materials, and make sure your property is left clean and safe afterwards.
- For Homes: We regularly remove asbestos from garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits, fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks.
- For Businesses: Whether it's an office renovation or a shop fit-out, we remove asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other materials with minimal fuss, so your operations stay smooth.
- For Industrial Sites: We take on larger jobs, like removing asbestos cement roofing and cladding from warehouses, factories, and farm buildings.
- Professional Asbestos Collection & Disposal: If you've already had asbestos carefully removed or dismantled, we can help. We provide a professional collection service, making sure it’s properly wrapped and transported to an authorised hazardous waste facility. You’ll also get all the legal paperwork (Hazardous Waste Consignment Note) you need for your records.
- Asbestos Encapsulation & Reinstatement: Sometimes, if asbestos is in good condition, removing it isn’t always the best option. Encapsulation means we seal or cover the material to stop fibres from escaping. This can be a very sensible and cost-effective way to manage it safely. And once any asbestos is removed, we also offer a complete reinstatement service. We can replace roofs, ceilings, flooring, and walls, getting your space completely back to normal.
