Identifying the location, type, and condition of asbestos is always the critical first step. Our thorough surveys give you the vital information you need to manage any risks and comply with legal requirements.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An absolute must before buying a property. We pinpoint potential hidden asbestos costs and health risks that could impact your decision.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: This is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess their condition, and create a report and register. This helps you manage them safely, keeping everyone who uses the building safe.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: If you're planning any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work, a legally mandated, intrusive survey must happen first. We'll find any hidden asbestos before work begins, protecting your workers and the public.
• Asbestos Re-inspections: We can carry out regular re-inspections to monitor the condition of asbestos we've previously identified. This keeps your management plan up-to-date and effective.

If you've spotted a material you think might contain asbestos, the most important rule is: do not disturb it! Our team steps in to safely take a sample, making sure no dangerous fibres get released. We then send this sample to an independent, UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This process gives you a definitive result and a certificate, confirming whether asbestos is present. We commonly test materials found in:

• Textured coatings (like Artex) on ceilings and walls.
• Asbestos cement products – often seen in garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters.
• Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper.
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) used in walls, ceilings, and partitions.
• Pipe insulation and old boiler flues.
