Asbestos Surveys in Hertfordshire

It is essential to have an asbestos survey carried out immediately if you think that your home or office environment may contain asbestos. To adhere to the requirements set out in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, work with us at Crucial Environmental to produce a specialist asbestos management plan.

By undertaking a survey, we will be able to locate any asbestos or asbestos-containing materials (ACM) that could present a risk of being damaged or disturbed. You will be provided with a comprehensive breakdown of the ACMs and the current condition that will allow you to develop a plan for how to manage these and protect yourself, your family or your staff from harm.

We work on both residential and business projects across Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas. Crucial Environmental aims to deliver a hassle-free service that will help you identify and manage any asbestos hazards. Call us today on 01903 297818.

Asbestos Testing Hertfordshire

At Crucial Environmental, we ensure that as part of our asbestos surveys that if any materials containing asbestos are found in your building, that a sample is collected and sent for analysis by an accredited UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) laboratory. The sample will be tested in controlled conditions before being issued a certification of analysis that provides details of any asbestos that is found.

Once the sample has been submitted, the results typically have a 36-hour processing period before the results are available. If your circumstances require the information to be available urgently, we can offer an expedited turnaround service to suit your needs.

Asbestos Report Hertfordshire

Upon completion of an asbestos survey, we can deliver a full asbestos report, this will highlight any samples taken and proceed with recommendations about any known ACMs. Our reports are printed, bound and issued in a hard copy format in addition to a PDF sent to you via email.

We remain dedicated to minimising the risk of any human exposure to asbestos, so after your initial survey and report, we can return to re-inspect ACMs at regular intervals to monitor the state of materials and determine if the risks have increased or stabilised.

Asbestos Lab Testing in Hertfordshire

As a standard best-practice measure we regularly test materials found on the premises we survey. We carefully extract a sample of potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and send these to approved UKAS labs to be tested thoroughly.

It is necessary to test possible ACMs such as floor tiles, insulation board and cement because it is not always possible to confirm the presence of asbestos through observation alone. Many ACMs can look identical to harmless materials and therefore require testing to avoid and prevent any potential asbestos exposure.
