Our Asbestos Testing Services in Church Town

1. Asbestos Survey

Our asbestos survey is a comprehensive asbestos testing service that involves a visual inspection of the building, complemented by the sampling of materials suspected to contain asbestos. The samples are taken to an accredited laboratory where they are tested for the presence of asbestos fibres.

2. Asbestos Sampling

We also offer a stand-alone asbestos sampling service, which involves the collection and testing of suspected asbestos-containing materials.

3. Asbestos Management Survey

Asbestos Management Survey is a duty to manage asbestos, which is generally required for managing the asbestos in buildings constructed before 2000. The survey aims to identify the presence and location of all ACMs in a building, provide a comprehensive asbestos management plan, and ensure compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

4. Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

This survey is mandatory when demolishing or refurbishing a building. The survey ensures that all asbestos-containing materials are identified and removed safely before any work takes place.

What Materials Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in the construction of buildings, mainly between 1940 and 1980. Common materials that contain asbestos include:

• Asbestos cement roofing and gutters
• Pipe insulation
• Textured coating (artex)
• Insulation boards
• Thermal insulation
• Vinyl floor tiles and backing
• Laboratory benches
• Fire blankets

What Happens After You Receive The Asbestos Testing Results?

After receiving your asbestos testing results, the next step depends on the outcome of the testing. If the survey reveals that your building contains asbestos-containing materials, we will provide you with detailed advice on the best course of action. If the asbestos-containing material (ACM) is in good condition and not posing any risks, we may recommend that you manage it in situ. However, if the ACM is damaged or in poor condition, we may recommend that it be removed to prevent the risk of asbestos-related diseases.
