Our asbestos surveys

With many years working in Cornwall, we are accredited to BS EN ISO/IEC 17020 by UKAS to undertake both Management Asbestos Surveys (Type 2) and Refurbishment & Demolition Asbestos Surveys (Type 3).

As a part of these surveys, we will look throughout a property to attempt to establish or disprove the presence of asbestos. When we have completed our work, you will be presented with an in-depth report detailing the location and condition of any asbestos found.

Sampling and lab testing

We conduct sampling as a part of the survey process. This involves taking a sample from any material in your premises that we believe could contain asbestos. This sample is then sent away to a lab for testing. This is necessary as it is not always possible to identify asbestos just through looking at it.

The results of the test are usually available within 36 hours, and all of this information will be provided in the report.

Asbestos Air Testing

Asbestos is dangerous to health when the material is disturbed or damaged. When this occurs, asbestos fibres become airborne where they can be breathed into the lungs. This can happen as a result of building working or for a number of other reasons.

It is not safe to use a building that has asbestos fibres in the air. Our asbestos air testing can be used to establish when air quality has returned to normal.
