Asbestos Management Survey

This is the cornerstone to your asbestos management plan. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect ACM's within a building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition.

Pre-refurbishment / Demolition Survey

This type of survey aims to find the asbestos behind surfaces which will be affected anyway during repairs, maintenance, alterations or demolition. Typically, the survey criteria involves intrusive, investigative and destructive means. The premise behind this type of survey is that the structure is either being demolished or is being significantly refurbished.

The release of asbestos fibres in the air can be a major concern, whether it is by accident or carelessness. Few workplace events are as alarming. Fortunately, we are well positioned to be able to provide emergency response air testing with on-site analysis. This means minds can be quickly eased or prompt action to close down problems at the earliest opportunity.

Air monitoring is also used during our asbestos removal work to detect leaks from working enclosures and to reassure people living or working nearby that no risks are arising from working practices in operation.

After asbestos has been removed, repaired or environmentally cleaned, we recommend air monitoring in some cases, and it is mandatory in others.

We can therefore offer airborne fibre sampling in conjunction with our removal projects in the following areas:

  • Four-stage clearance monitoring
  • Reassurance monitoring and inspection
  • Background monitoring
  • Personal exposure monitoring
  • Leak (enclosure integrity check) monitoring

Case Studies


Suspect Material within Retail Unit Basement in Altrincham

The problem:

A pre-refurbishment asbestos survey had been undertaken and no asbestos containing materials had been identified. It was not until a false ceiling had been removed that a suspect material had been identified to a number of areas.

The solution:

The refurbishment project manager who had dealt with us previously called to explain the situation. He was trained in how to take samples correctly and dispatched the sample down to our office as time was of the essence to keep the project on track. Upon analysis, the sample was identified to be asbestos rope packers that were removed by us the following day.

Pre-demolition Asbestos Survey Macclesfield

The problem:

Due to the size of the property that was to be surveyed and the fact that so many asbestos containing items had been identified in the previous asbestos management survey, the surveying company was looking for a solution to undertake the survey accurately and quickly to fit in with client requirements.

The solution:

The surveying company decided utilise 2 of our experienced operatives to aid in the removal of panels and undertake the intrusive elements of the survey, so that their survey team could concentrate on the inspection and recording elements of the property survey.

Suspect Material in a Commercial Unit in Salford

The problem:

We received a call from a director of a company regarding the removal of possible asbestos sheeting to the ceiling and walls of the WC in their industrial unit.

The solution:

Our friendly customer service team advised to have the material tested, we arranged for one of our experts to visit the unit to take the sample, we submitted the sample to our UKAS accredited laboratory and the results came back the very next day.
