Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex: How Much Is It To Test For Asbestos In Sussex?

If you are looking to buy, renovate or demolish a property in Sussex, you need to know the risks of asbestos exposure. Asbestos was widely used in the construction industry in the UK until its ban in 1999. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can be dangerous if not handled safely, as breathing in the fibres can result in serious lung damage, including cancer.

Asbestos is commonly found in many building materials such as insulation, ceiling tiles, flooring, and electrical equipment. However, the presence of asbestos cannot be determined by visual inspection alone. Asbestos testing is necessary to identify the ACMs on your property and to take necessary precautions to protect your health.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we are a reliable asbestos testing company in Sussex. We provide comprehensive asbestos surveys and testing services to help homeowners, landlords, and businesses identify potential asbestos risks on their properties. In this article, we will explain what an asbestos survey and testing involve, how much it costs, and why you should choose Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex for your asbestos testing needs.

What is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of your property to determine whether there are any ACMs present on your premises. A licensed asbestos surveyor will conduct the survey, which involves visually inspecting the building and taking samples of suspected ACMs.

There are two types of asbestos surveys management and refurbishment surveys.

Management Survey

A management survey is a non-intrusive survey that aims to identify any asbestos-containing materials that might be damaged, deteriorating, or in areas that are being disturbed as part of normal maintenance. This could include drilling, fixing, or changing of fixtures in the building.

Refurbishment Survey

A refurbishment survey is a more intrusive survey that is required before refurbishment, demolition or major alterations of a building. The survey aims to identify all ACMs in the building and if necessary, recommend a plan for their safe removal before any work begins.

Why Do You Need An Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a critical step in identifying asbestos-containing materials on your property, which could be a significant health hazard if disturbed. Knowing the location and condition of the ACMs in your building can help you take necessary precautions to avoid exposure to asbestos fibres.

By law, you are required to take reasonable steps to identify and manage any asbestos risks on your property. If asbestos is present on your property, you need to ensure that any work carried out on the property is done safely, and the ACMs are managed to prevent them from being disturbed.

What Does Asbestos Testing Involve?

Asbestos testing involves taking samples of the suspected ACMs on your property and sending them to a certified laboratory for analysis. The samples collected can be of various forms such as air, water, soil, bulk materials or dust.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we use state-of-the-art equipment to collect and analyse samples ensuring the highest standards of quality control. Our experienced asbestos assessors will prepare a detailed report outlining the results of the asbestos testing, the location of the ACMs and the recommended course of action.

How Much Does Asbestos Testing Cost In Sussex?

The cost of asbestos testing varies based on the scope and complexity of the survey or sampling. Factors such as the size and age of the building, the proximity of the ACMs to work areas or the potential health risks of the asbestos, can also influence the cost.
