Asbestos Management Survey

In order to comply with current “Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012” all buildings that were built or refurbished prior to the year 2000 require an Asbestos Management Survey. The purpose of an Asbestos Management Survey is to locate the presence and extent of any suspected Asbestos Containing Materials (as far as reasonably practicable). All possible ACM’s discovered will be sampled. The whereabouts, condition and the possible risk during normal occupancy will be included in the report, along with advice on actions required and whether further remedial works are necessary. A material and priority risk assessment will be include in the Asbestos Register.

Asbestos Refurbishment & demolition survey

Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition surveys are required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out on any property built or refurbished prior to the year 2000. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable all ACM’s in the area(s) where the works will take place or, in the building as a whole if demolition is being planned. The survey will be fully intrusive and involve destructive inspection if necessary. Access to all areas is required, including those that may be difficult to reach. A refurbishment and demolition survey may also be required in other circumstances, e.g. when more intrusive maintenance and repair work will be carried out or for targeted refurbishment operations.

Asbestos Sample Verification

A predetermined number of samples taken from a specific material to determine the presence, if any, of asbestos fibres. The sample location and materials are presented in an Asbestos Verification Survey. Any ACM’s discovered or suspected require sampling to assess the condition and any associated possible risks.

Bilk sampling strategy and analysis

The object of carrying out sampling is to identify the nature, extent and condition of any visible asbestos material. After sampling, any friable or broken material is sealed whilst the samples are double sealed in polythene bags, which would not give rise to any dust release. Care is taken to prevent cross contamination of samples and to ensure that sampling does not impair the structural integrity of the building or plant. Where sampling is undertaken it is done so to cause minimum possible potential risk to the health of the surveyor, the occupants of, and visitors to, the building and to cause minimum nuisance. All samples are independently verified by a UKAS accredited analytical laboratory.

Pre - purchase survey

This survey is non-intrusive along the lines of an Asbestos Management Survey therefore no damage is caused to the property although, with permission granted by the vendor some minor sampling may be carried out. A material risk assessment will be included in the report. Advice on any remedial works and associated costs with regards to any remedial works will be provided upon request by the client.
