Asbestos Surveys: Ensure the Safety of Your Property

At Surveys 4 Asbestos, we provide professional, accurate asbestos surveys for homeowners, businesses, and contractors across the East Midlands. Asbestos is a dangerous substance commonly found in buildings built before the year 2000. If you’re planning any renovation, demolition, or simply want to ensure the safety of your property, an asbestos survey is a vital step in identifying and managing any risks.

Our expert surveyors are fully qualified and accredited to carry out thorough inspections, giving you peace of mind and ensuring compliance with UK asbestos regulations.

Why Choose Our Asbestos Surveys?

An asbestos survey identifies any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your property. These materials can pose significant health risks if disturbed, so knowing where they are located, their condition, and how to safely manage or remove them is essential.

Why You Should Get an Asbestos Survey

1. Health and Safety: Asbestos exposure can lead to life-threatening diseases. Identifying asbestos early helps prevent exposure and ensures safety.
2. Legal Compliance: As a property owner or manager, you have a legal duty to manage asbestos-containing materials under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Failure to do so can lead to legal action and financial penalties.
3. Avoid Costly Surprises: Asbestos removal and management can be expensive. A survey allows you to plan for costs and make informed decisions before starting any work.
4. Peace of Mind: With a professional asbestos survey, you can be sure that any risks are identified, so you can take the appropriate action to protect your property and its occupants.

Types of Asbestos Surveys We Offer

We offer a range of asbestos surveys tailored to your specific needs. Each survey is designed to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess the risks, and provide expert recommendations. Here are the types of surveys we provide:

1. Management Asbestos Survey

The Management Survey is the most common type of survey. It's recommended for properties where asbestos is not being disturbed, such as when you're managing the building's ongoing maintenance. This survey identifies and assesses the condition of any ACMs, advising on how to manage them safely.

2. Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey

If you’re planning any demolition or renovation work, a Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is essential. This survey is more invasive, as it seeks to identify all ACMs that might be disturbed during construction work. It’s a crucial step to ensure safety and legal compliance before starting any work.

3. Homebuyer Asbestos Survey

Purchasing a home? Our Homebuyer Asbestos Survey identifies any asbestos risks present in the property you intend to buy. This survey helps you understand the potential costs of managing or removing asbestos, ensuring you can make an informed decision before proceeding with the purchase.

4. Re-inspection Asbestos Survey

If your property has already had an asbestos survey and materials were identified, a Re-inspection Survey ensures those materials are still in good condition and properly managed. If asbestos materials are showing signs of deterioration or require additional attention, we’ll provide recommendations for action.

5. Asbestos Survey for Commercial Properties

We also specialise in asbestos surveys for commercial properties. Whether you’re a landlord, business owner, or contractor, we can conduct a survey to identify any asbestos in your commercial building, ensuring compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
