Asbestos Survey and Consultation

Our asbestos surveyors provide an unbiased report and set of results regarding your building’s asbestos presence. Our asbestos consultants will then advise you on how to proceed based on these results. If asbestos is correctly identified we can action monitoring plans. If exposed or dangerous levels of asbestos are found, either during our initial management survey or a proceeding check-up, we will advise you about removal.

If you then decide to have renovation or demolition work done then you must, by law, also have a more intrusive R& D survey done.

Education is key to keeping both businesses and homes safe from asbestos. We take this responsibility very seriously, drawing from our extensive experiences to best inform our clients and our reports nationwide.

Government regulations

Initially asbestos was widely used as an insulator in the walls and ceilings of our homes. Its properties as a strong, light, heat-resistant non-conductor made it ideally suited for this purpose. This practice continued for hundreds of years, well into the first half of the twentieth century.

Asbestos regulations have changed hugely since then, in response to our increased understanding of the material. The first confirmed asbestos-related death occurred in Manchester in 1924, leading to the publication of the first Asbestos Industry Regulations in 1931.

Nowadays we understand much better the threat of toxicity that asbestos represents. As of 1999, every commercial building built or in use must be professionally surveyed for asbestos fibres. Somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500 deaths a year still occur due to inhaling asbestos fibres, placing the threat of asbestos-related deaths well above those of road traffic fatalities, for example. Awareness is changing, but asbestos remains an ever-present threat, quite literally woven into the infrastructure of our society.

Recent reports have suggested that two and a half million buildings in the UK contain asbestos but only around half a million have actually had surveys done. This worrying statistic has led the UK Government to implement spot checks of commercial buildings, to ensure they have had a survey completed.

Quick action can save lives as well as money. If you suspect you have asbestos in your building, give one of our experienced asbestos consultants a call for a free quote and start putting your mind at rest.
