Domestic and Commercial Asbestos Surveys In South East. If you are a homeowner or responsible for a building, you have a legal requirement to ensure that you have identified any possible asbestos containing materials within that building. Legislation puts onus on the owner of the property to ensure asbestos is identified and either removed safely or managed prior to any other contractors commencing work.
A builder or contractor may stop work if they believe they are working within an area that contains asbestos without a report being present.
Asbestos can be found in many different products and the best way to ensure you are not at risk is to have an asbestos survey in Basildon. At Best Environmental Solutions Ltd we conduct both Management and Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) surveys.
Asbestos is most commonly found within both commercial and domestic properties in the form of textured coating to walls and ceilings or to asbestos cement tiles to walls or ceiling. It can also be found in the form pipe lagging, insulation board and electrical insulation. Asbestos is present in many other products and forms, including textured decorative coatings, heating ducts, wastewater pipes, concrete, cement products, toilet cisterns and many other products.
Asbestos Surveys Available We perform in-depth comprehensive asbestos surveys to identify if asbestos is present within the building and any outbuildings. Surveys and bulk sampling can be carried out on any land to identify contamination. Our highly experienced surveyors can visit the site to identify any possible asbestos-containing materials. Samples of suspected materials will be taken and analysed in an independent UKAS accredited laboratory .
A comprehensive report will be produced, detailing the types of asbestos found within the property and extent. The report will detail all findings and recommendations, this can be used as a management document to manage asbestos within the property or pass on to other contractors to ensure risks are reduced when working within the property.
The 2 main surveys we can conduct are certified by the British Occupational Hygiene Society .
Management Survey - This involves a visual inspection of area of works. Samples are only taken from exposed suspected asbestos-containing material areas. Any areas which cannot be accessed can only be presumed.
Refurbishment and Demolition Survey (R&D) survey - This is a far more detailed survey into any part of the property the works will take place and will include plans and photos.
Samples of any potential Asbestos will be taken and analysed by an independent company. This survey is necessary before any works can take place. All surveys are carried out in accordance with HSG 264 , control of asbestos regulation 2012. Once surveys are complete we can advise you on the safest way of managing the asbestos.
