Asbestos Surveys in Leicestershire: Ensure Your Property is Safe
At Surveys 4 Asbestos, we offer professional, reliable asbestos surveys for homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Leicestershire. If your property was built before 2000, it may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that can pose serious health risks if disturbed. Our team of fully qualified and accredited surveyors will conduct a thorough inspection to identify any asbestos risks, ensuring your property remains safe and compliant with UK regulations.
Why Do You Need an Asbestos Survey in Leicestershire?
Asbestos is a harmful substance that was widely used in construction materials until the late 1990s. If your property was built before this time, it’s crucial to get an asbestos survey to identify any potential risks. Asbestos-containing materials can be found in a wide range of building components, including:
- Ceiling tiles (often Artex)
- Floor tiles and adhesives
- Insulation boards
- Roofing materials
- Pipe lagging and insulation
- Electrical meter boards
An asbestos survey helps you understand where these materials are located, their current condition, and what actions need to be taken to manage or remove them safely.

Benefits of an Asbestos Survey:
- Health and Safety: Identifying asbestos allows you to take necessary precautions to prevent exposure to harmful fibers.
- Legal Compliance: Property owners are legally required to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. An asbestos survey ensures you're compliant.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing where asbestos is located and how to manage it gives you peace of mind when carrying out renovations, repairs, or demolitions.

The Management Survey is designed to help property owners safely manage asbestos that is present but not likely to be disturbed. This survey identifies and assesses the condition of ACMs to ensure they are safely maintained.
2. Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey
Planning renovations or demolition work? A Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is essential. This survey identifies all ACMs that could be disturbed during construction, helping you manage risks before work begins.
