Asbestos Surveys in Derby: Protect Your Property
At Surveys 4 Asbestos, we provide professional asbestos surveys for homeowners, property managers, and businesses in Derby and surrounding areas. If your property was built before 2000, it may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Our accredited surveyors will conduct a thorough inspection to identify any potential risks and ensure your property is safe and compliant with UK regulations.
Why You Need an Asbestos Survey in Derby
Asbestos is a dangerous material that was widely used in building construction until the year 2000. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne, posing serious health risks to anyone who breathes them in. If your property was built before 2000, it’s essential to have an asbestos survey to identify any ACMs.
Common Asbestos-Containing Materials in Derby Properties:
- Ceiling tiles (often Artex)
- Floor tiles and adhesives
- Insulation boards
- Pipe lagging and insulation
- Roofing materials
- Electric meter boards
An asbestos survey identifies where these materials are located, assesses their condition, and provides you with a plan for managing or removing them safely.
Types of Asbestos Surveys We Offer in Derby
At Surveys 4 Asbestos, we offer various types of asbestos surveys, tailored to meet the needs of homeowners, businesses, and contractors in Derby. Here are the key survey types we provide:
1. Management Asbestos Survey
The Management Survey is designed for properties where asbestos is present but unlikely to be disturbed. This survey identifies and assesses the condition of ACMs, providing you with advice on how to safely manage and monitor them.
2. Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey
Planning to renovate or demolish a property in Derby? A Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is essential before any work begins. This survey identifies all ACMs that could be disturbed, ensuring that you comply with UK regulations and minimize health risks during construction or demolition.
3. Homebuyer Asbestos Survey
Before purchasing a property, it’s important to know whether it contains asbestos. Our Homebuyer Asbestos Survey helps you make an informed decision by identifying any asbestos risks. This survey can save you from unexpected costs later, ensuring that you understand the full extent of any necessary work.
4. Re-inspection Asbestos Survey
If asbestos was previously identified in your property, a Re-inspection Survey is necessary to check the condition of the materials. Over time, ACMs can deteriorate, and it’s important to ensure they are still being managed properly.

CASE STUDY : Public House Cellar Refurbishment | Derby
Background:
This local public house needed to have new pipes installed as part of a supplier swap.
The supplier would not carry out the changes until it was confirmed that asbestos was not within the installation areas of the cellar and bar.
How our professional service helped:
We had a discussion with the pub landlord and explained that we can carry out the asbestos survey on just these areas only. This put the landlords mind at ease that he was going to have to pay for a full building survey when one was not required.
The survey was completed with samples removed and tested. No asbestos was found in the cellar , therefore the refurbishment could go ahead.
Conclusion:
You do not have to have a complete building asbestos survey if it's only a certain area which needs inspecting.
