Asbestos Surveys In London
An Asbestos Survey is crucial in ensuring that asbestos-containing materials in an older building are identified and managed correctly. The survey and testing will detect any existing or potential asbestos materials which may be disturbed or damaged during average occupancy.
When undergoing an asbestos survey, you can anticipate a thorough examination of your property by a professional with expertise in asbestos detection and regulation compliance. This expert will scrutinise various parts of the building, including ceilings, walls, and floors, to pinpoint potential asbestos-containing materials. The survey aims to be comprehensive, incorporating detailed observations, photographs, and sampling of materials to substantiate the findings. A crucial component of the survey report will not only detail the presence of asbestos but also provide guidance on managing these hazardous materials effectively, ensuring safety and compliance with regulatory standards. This meticulous approach helps in mitigating the risks associated with asbestos exposure, safeguarding the well-being of occupants and workers in the building.
The results of an asbestos survey form the basis of an asbestos register, providing property managers and landlords with vital information about their residential or commercial buildings. This type of survey is suitable for all homes and work premises, including shops, offices, industrial units and communal areas. It is a non-intrusive procedure which follows strict regulations to ensure safety. Learn more about asbestos!

Very professional. Incredibly responsive office staff. All the right equipment and knowledge. Asbestos removal is not inexpensive but the cost was totally justified by the service we received and by the way in which this good service kept the tenants relatively happy through what was a major inconvenience for them. Thank you.
Great service and communication from first contact to completion
Great service from London Asbestos. We have textured ceilings and wanted to check if they contain asbestos before removing. The staff answering telephone to make an appointment were very polite and helpful and the person taking sample generously came out on bank holiday monday to ensure we get the result asap. Results came back the same day as they were submitted to the lab. Luckily we had a negative result so didnt have any further works carried out but im very pleased with the service provided.
I needed a asbestos report quickly due to a house purchase. I contacted Julia and within a couple of days the report was done and the results available. I am waiting to complete on the property and when done will be calling the team in to complete the work. Amazing customer service from Julia who explained everything in detail. Would definately recommend.

Refurbishment/Demolition Survey
A Refurbishment/Demolition Survey, also known as an R&D survey, is necessary prior to any major refurbishment, remedial works, or demolition of a premises. This type of survey goes beyond the scope of the original management asbestos survey and is essential in identifying any potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that may be disturbed during the upcoming work.
A Refurbishment/Demolition Survey involves a thorough inspection of all accessible areas of a building, including those that may be difficult to reach. This includes areas that may be hidden or concealed, such as behind walls, under flooring, and above ceilings. The survey is carried out by a qualified asbestos surveyor who will take samples of any suspected ACMs to be analysed in a laboratory.
As mentioned in the background information, conducting a refurbishment/demolition survey is crucial to ensure the safety of workers and occupants in a building. But why specifically are these surveys important?
Firstly, these surveys help to identify any potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that may be present in the building. Asbestos was commonly used in construction materials before its ban in the late 1990s, therefore it is important to determine if any ACMs are present before any refurbishment or demolition works take place.
Secondly, these surveys also involve a destructive inspection of materials, meaning that any potential ACMs can be fully identified and assessed for risk of exposure. This is important as ACMs can pose a serious health hazard when disturbed, releasing asbestos fibres into the air which can be inhaled and lead to serious respiratory diseases.
Re-Inspection Survey
Additionally, conducting a refurbishment/demolition survey is required by regulations and failure to do so can result in enforcement action. It is the responsibility of the employer or building owner to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to protect workers and occupants from asbestos exposure, and a refurbishment/demolition survey is an essential step in this process.
The control of asbestos require the management and monitoring of asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in buildings. This includes conducting re-inspection asbestos surveys to ensure the safety and proper management of these materials.
Re-inspection of ACMs is necessary following any material changes or at least annually. This process allows duty holders to maintain a record of their compliance with legal regulations over time.
It is important to regularly inspect and monitor ACMs as they can deteriorate over time or become damaged by contractors and maintenance staff if not properly managed. Our company offers this service, providing proper management and monitoring of ACMs in buildings across the UK. So, you can trust us to ensure the safety of your property and compliance with legal obligations. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for re-inspection asbestos surveys and proper management of ACMs in your building. We are here to help you maintain a safe and healthy environment for all occupants.
Management Survey
A Management Survey is an essential step in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for individuals to live, work, or visit. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can pose serious health risks if they are disturbed or damaged. This survey allows you to monitor and manage these materials during the normal occupation and use of your premises.
During this survey, a qualified professional will conduct a visual inspection of your property and identify any potential ACMs. They may also collect samples for further testing if necessary.
It is important to note that most functioning commercial or multi-tenancy properties require a management survey. This is because these types of properties are often shared by multiple individuals, making it essential to ensure the safety of all occupants.
Overall, a Management Survey is an important tool for managing and monitoring any potential ACMs within your premises. It allows you to take preventative measures and ensure the safety of everyone within the building. By following the recommendations provided in this survey, you can create a safe and healthy environment for all individuals involved.
