Frequently Asked Questions
What is an asbestos survey and what is involved?
An asbestos survey is a professional inspection carried out to identify asbestos-containing materials within a property and assess any associated risks. Depending on the survey type, this may include visual inspections, material sampling, laboratory analysis, and detailed reporting with recommendations for safe management.
I’m not sure which asbestos survey I need — can you help?
Yes. Different buildings and projects require different survey types, so our team will discuss your requirements and recommend the most appropriate survey based on your property, planned works, and legal obligations.
Why is asbestos considered dangerous?
Asbestos becomes hazardous when fibres are released into the air and inhaled. This can happen when asbestos-containing materials are damaged, disturbed, or deteriorate over time. Proper identification and management helps reduce the risk of exposure.
Could asbestos still be present in my property?
Properties built before 2000 may still contain asbestos within ceilings, insulation, floor coverings, roofing materials, pipe lagging, textured coatings, and service ducts commonly used during construction.
What should I do if I think a material contains asbestos?
Avoid disturbing the material and seek professional advice before carrying out any work. Attempting to remove or damage suspected asbestos-containing materials without proper controls can increase the risk of fibre release and exposure.
what should i expect to pay for a professional asbestos survey?
Survey costs vary depending on the type of survey required, the size and complexity of the property, accessibility, and whether sampling is needed. We provide clear, no-obligation quotations tailored to your specific requirements.
