2. Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

A refurbishment and demolition survey is a more intrusive survey that is required before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place. This type of survey is designed to identify all ACMs within the area where the work will take place. The survey involves destructive inspection and may involve the removal of some materials to access confined spaces.

Asbestos Testing Process

Our asbestos testing process is simple and straightforward. Firstly, we will arrange a convenient date and time for our surveyors to visit your property to conduct the survey. Our surveyors will then identify any ACMs and take representative samples for analysis at our UKAS accredited laboratory.

We take great pride in our fast turnaround times, and we aim to deliver all asbestos testing results within five working days. Once we receive the results, we will provide you with a clear and concise report outlining the location of ACMs in your property and recommended next steps.

What Materials May Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can be found in a wide range of building materials, including:

• Insulation materials (including pipe insulation, boiler jackets, and loft insulation)
• Cement products (including roof tiles, corrugated roofing sheets, and flue pipes)
• Flooring materials (including vinyl tiles, bitumen, and mastic)
• Textured coatings (including Artex and other textured paints)
• Fire-resistant materials (including fire doors and fire retardant boards)
• Spray coatings (including sprayed insulation and decorative coatings)

It's worth noting that not all products containing asbestos are highly dangerous. If ACMs are in good condition and left undisturbed, they pose little risk to health. However, if ACMs are damaged or disturbed, asbestos fibers can be released into the air, where they can be breathed in and can lead to serious health problems.
