Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire: Your Reliable Asbestos Survey Company in The Friary

Are you planning to buy a commercial property in The Friary, Wiltshire, South West England? Or do you own a building that's due for refurbishment or demolition? If so, you need to consider the risks of asbestos exposure to your workers, tenants, or visitors.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that's known to cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory diseases. In the past, asbestos was widely used in construction and insulation materials due to its fire-resistant and durable properties. However, its health risks have led to its ban in many countries, including the UK since 1999.

If your building was built before 2000, there's a chance that it contains asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) such as pipe insulation, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, roofing sheets, and textured coatings. These materials may become hazardous when they're disturbed or damaged, releasing asbestos fibers into the air.

To protect your people from asbestos exposure, you need to identify and manage the ACMs in your building through an asbestos survey. An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your building to locate and assess the condition of any ACMs. The survey report will indicate the type, quantity, location, and condition of the ACMs, and provide recommendations for their management, refurbishment, or removal.

However, not all asbestos surveys are the same. The type of survey you need depends on the purpose of the survey, the accessibility of the areas to be surveyed, and the level of intrusion required. The three main types of asbestos surveys are:

1. Asbestos management survey - This survey aims to locate any ACMs that are likely to be disturbed or damaged during normal occupancy or maintenance of the building. The surveyor will take samples of suspected ACMs and assess their condition. The survey report will provide a management plan for the ACMs, including their priority, any remedial actions needed, and a timetable for their review.

2. Refurbishment and demolition survey - This survey is more intrusive and aims to locate any ACMs that are likely to be disturbed or damaged during refurbishment or demolition works. The surveyor will dismantle or open up the areas to be surveyed and take samples of suspected ACMs. The survey report will provide a demolition or refurbishment plan for the ACMs, including their removal or encapsulation, and any safety precautions needed.

3. Asbestos re-inspection survey - This survey is a follow-up to a previous asbestos survey and aims to check the condition and location of the ACMs that were identified in the previous survey. The surveyor will only inspect the areas that were previously surveyed and report any changes in the condition or location of the ACMs.
