Asbestos Refurbishment/Demolition Survey

A refurbishment/demolition survey is a more intrusive inspection that involves partial or complete destruction of structures to access materials that may contain asbestos. This survey is necessary when a property is due to be refurbished or demolished, and there is a high risk of disturbing ACMs.

Asbestos Air Testing

Asbestos air testing is a critical step in assessing and managing any asbestos risk. Air testing can detect airborne asbestos fibers, which are invisible to the naked eye but can be inhaled and pose a severe health hazard. Our asbestos air testing specialists use the latest equipment to take air samples and analyze them in a laboratory. We provide rapid results, and our reliable testing methods ensure the accuracy of the results.

Asbestos Sample Analysis

Asbestos sample analysis is the laboratory testing of materials to determine whether they contain asbestos. Our accredited laboratories provide fast and accurate results, and we use established testing procedures to ensure the reliability of the results.

May Contain Asbestos

Many building materials may contain asbestos, and it is not always easy to identify them visually. Asbestos fibers are microscopic, and can only be detected through laboratory analysis. The following materials are known to contain asbestos and should be tested:

• Cement (corrugated) roofing sheets
• Textured coatings
• Floor tiles and coverings
• Insulation materials (loose or sprayed)
• Asbestos cement products (pipes, flues, etc.)
• Ceiling tiles
• Soffits, fascias, and guttering
• Artex and other textured finishes
• Fireproofing materials
