Domestic Asbestos Management Survey | Harwich

Location: Residential Property, Harwich, Essex
Survey Type: Asbestos Management Survey (CAR 2012 Compliance)
Survey Date: 04/04/2025

Objective:

We recently carried out a domestic asbestos management survey at a residential property in Harwich, Essex. The survey was requested by the property owner to identify any possible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within the home and to help them safely manage these materials going forward.

Survey Process:

Our highly experienced and qualified asbestos surveyors carried out a detailed, non-intrusive inspection and during the survey, samples were taken from suspected materials, these included:

• Textured Coatings
• Floor Tiles and Adhesives
• Composite Materials

Survey Findings & Risk Assessment:

Laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of ACMs in several locations within the property, including:

1. • Textured coatings
   • Composite Materials

Immediate Actions & Ongoing Management:

Following the survey, the client was provided with a comprehensive asbestos report, which included:

1. A breakdown of all identified ACMs and their locations.
2. An assessment of the condition and risk of each material.
3. Guidance on the safe management of asbestos within the property.
4. Recommendations for future monitoring and advice should any refurbishment works take place.

As no immediate removal was necessary, the property owners were advised to ensure the ACMs remained in good condition and undisturbed, with periodic inspections to monitor their state.

Outcome:

The survey has successfully :

• Produced a full asbestos register for the property.
• Identified all asbestos-containing materials along with detailed risk assessments.
• Provided clear, prioritised recommendations for the safe management of any ACMs found.
• Helped ensure the property remains fully compliant with the Control Of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012)
