CASE STUDY : Asbestos Floor Tile Testing in Nottingham
Background:
Mrs Dean owns a Semi-Detached 1970's built Nottinghamshire House. Mrs Dean planned to have her kitchen renovated by a kitchen company. When measuring up the kitchen , the installers noticed old floor tiles and informed Mrs Dean that they should be tested proper to renovation work started. Mrs Dean called us at Surveys 4 Asbestos and asked if the installers advice was right , and what her options were and what costs for asbestos testing were involved.
How our professional service helped:
We advised Mrs Dean that the advice from the installer was right! Advice was provided on how we can come and take a sample and have this tested to find out if the floor tiles contained asbestos. The set cost was explained and Mrs Dean booked us straight in!
The sample was taken from Mrs Deans kitchen floor and no asbestos was detected within the sample.
Conclusion:
Having the floor tiles tested for asbestos prevented a delay in the kitchen renovation work being carried out. Furthermore , Mrs Dean had no idea the floor tiles could have contained asbestos - therefore she went into panic about them when the possibility arose. The testing we carried out gave Mrs Dean complete peace of mind.
