Thorough Asbestos Survey

Our comprehensive asbestos survey follows HSE guidelines and includes all materials and locations on your property that could contain asbestos. We carefully collect samples and send them to tested labs for analysis, providing prompt results that identify if your property contains asbestos and the type of asbestos found.

Risk Assessment and Management Support

Once we have successfully identified asbestos on your property, our team works with you to develop a plan and recommendations for removing or managing the materials safely. We understand the importance of complete transparency throughout the process, and we ensure that our clients are fully informed of their options and the risks involved.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a material that was widely used in the construction of buildings and industrial plants during the 20th century. It is a naturally occurring mineral with high heat resistance, making it perfect for use in insulation and fireproofing. However, asbestos fibers are incredibly small and can easily become airborne, causing significant health risks when inhaled or ingested. This is because asbestos fibers can stay in your lungs for up to 30 years, leading to lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Asbestos products were banned in the UK in 1999, but many buildings constructed before then still have asbestos-containing materials.

The Importance of Asbestos Testing

Asbestos testing is essential for anyone who owns or operates a building constructed before 1999 in the UK. It is necessary to check for the presence of asbestos in your property, as there are still many asbestos-containing products that remain undetected. Testing ensures that any asbestos present is identified, managed or removed correctly to protect your family, employees or customers from potential health risks.
