We find where it is, take samples for lab testing where needed and tell you what to do next.
Many homes and units in Luton were built before 2000, including the older terraces in Bury Park. Asbestos is mainly a danger when it is damaged or disturbed. Find out before you knock through a wall or rip out a kitchen.
What Is an Asbestos Survey?
An asbestos survey finds materials in a building that may contain asbestos. The surveyor checks ceilings, walls, floors, pipes, boiler areas, roofs and outbuildings.
Where needed, they take small samples, which are tested at a lab to confirm whether asbestos is there. Your report shows where it is and what condition it is in.
Management Survey or Refurbishment Survey?
A management survey is for a building in normal use. It finds asbestos that could be damaged day to day, so it can be kept safe. Owners of business premises and the shared parts of a block have a duty to manage asbestos.
A refurbishment or demolition survey is done before building work. It goes further, looking inside walls, floors and ceilings where the work will take place.
If Asbestos Is Found
Finding asbestos does not always mean it has to come out. If it is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it is often the safest choice.
We tell you whether to leave it, manage it or have it removed by a licensed contractor. We do not remove asbestos ourselves, so our advice is based only on what the building needs.
Who Needs an Asbestos Survey?
Business owners, landlords and managing agents often need a management survey for buildings from before 2000. Homeowners usually need one before a refit, extension or loft conversion.
Builders often ask for a refurbishment survey before they start, so booking it early helps avoid delays.
