How Much For Asbestos Testing In Hampshire

If you're a building owner or manager in Hampshire or the surrounding areas of South East England and you're planning to take on a refurbishment or demolition project, it's strongly recommended that you take steps to test for the presence of asbestos in your property. Asbestos is a toxic fibrous material that was commonly used in construction until the 1980s, and exposure to it can cause serious health problems.

In this article, we'll discuss why asbestos testing is important and how much you can expect to pay for it in Hampshire. We'll also introduce Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, a leading asbestos testing and removal company in Hampshire that can help ensure your property is safe and compliant with regulations.

The Importance of Asbestos Testing

Asbestos is dangerous when its fibres are released into the air and inhaled by people nearby. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed during a refurbishment or demolition project, fibres can be released, which can be inhaled and lead to lung diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, and asbestosis. Since asbestos exposure can take many years to develop into an illness, it's essential to test your property for ACMs before beginning any work that could disturb them.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 state that building owners, managers, and contractors have a legal obligation to manage asbestos within their properties and take steps to identify and control it. This includes carrying out an asbestos survey to identify the location, extent, and type of ACMs present and taking appropriate action to manage or remove them safely.

How Much Does Asbestos Testing Cost in Hampshire?

Asbestos testing costs vary depending on the type of survey required, the size of the property, and the accessibility of the areas to be surveyed. There are two main types of asbestos surveys that can be undertaken:

• An asbestos management survey, which involves identifying ACMs that could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance of a property. This type of survey is generally less intrusive and expensive than a refurbishment or demolition survey.

• A refurbishment or demolition survey, which is required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. This type of survey is more intrusive and expensive than a management survey since a greater level of access is required to areas that may be affected by the work.

The cost of an asbestos survey in Hampshire can vary, but as a rough guide, you can expect to pay:

• 250 to 500 for a management survey, depending on the size of the property
• 500 to 1,000 for a refurbishment or demolition survey, depending on the complexity of the project and the size of the property

It's worth noting that the cost of the survey is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes with knowing your property is safe and complying with regulations. In addition, removing any identified ACMs can help to increase the value of your property and safeguard the health of those who live or work there.
