Type 1 - Basic location and assessment asbestos survey which will give a general indication if there are any asbestos containing materials within the property. No samples are taken to determine whether materials are or are not asbestos, so presumptions are therefore necessary.

 

Type 2 - Standard sampling, identification and assessment survey. Small samples of all materials that are likely to contain asbestos are taken in a non- destructive manner from all reasonably accessible areas. Samples are sent to accredited scientific laboratories for testing and they produce a report on the asbestos content and type, of the samples.

 

Type 3 - Full access sampling and identification survey that will include intrusion into sealed voids, under floors, in ducts and enclosed spaces and all other more inaccessible areas. This type of survey is recommended before major building works or demolition takes place.

 

These results are compiled into a clear and easy to understand asbestos register which will give you all the information you need to put together a management action plan to effectively deal with any instances of asbestos within your premises.

This register should be kept on site and be made available to anyone intending to carry out any sort of maintenance or renovation work prior to them starting, so that they are aware of any asbestos containing materials and can plan the work to conform with HSE regulations.

We will keep a copy of your register on file, monitor it periodically and advise you when any re-inspections are required. We will also inform you of any new legislation relevant to your circumstances.
