Finding out if asbestos is present, what type it is, and its condition is always the crucial first step. Our thorough asbestos surveys give you the vital information you need to manage any risks and comply with the law.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An important check before you buy a building, these surveys pinpoint any hidden asbestos costs or safety risks that might affect your purchase.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: A legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a detailed report and register. This helps you manage them safely and fulfil your legal duties.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: This legally mandated, intrusive survey is absolutely essential before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work starts on a property built before 2000.
• Re-inspections: We can carry out regular re-inspections to monitor the condition of asbestos you've already identified. This keeps your management plan current and effective.

If you suspect a material in your property contains asbestos, it's vital not to disturb it. Our qualified team can safely take a sample. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, providing you with a definitive result and official certificate. We regularly test materials like:

• 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
