Asbestos is a material that cannot be detected by sight or smell alone. It is often found in everyday construction elements such as insulation, roof panels, wall coatings, and even floor tiles. When disturbed, it releases fibres that can be inhaled and cause long-term health conditions, including serious respiratory disease.

A professional asbestos survey gives you certainty about whether asbestos is present, its type, and the condition it is in. By having this knowledge in advance, you can avoid accidental exposure and plan building works safely. It also ensures you remain compliant with UK health and safety regulations.

It was. In 1999 the UK government banned the use of asbestos in all future construction projects. Unfortunately, by then it had already been installed in millions of homes nationwide. All the ban did was create a floor under the problem. And while that was a necessary first step it did not solve the problem. The mission now is to remove the legacy asbestos, and that is done one house at a time.

What Types of Asbestos Surveys Do We Provide?

Different situations call for different survey methods. We offer a full range of asbestos surveys in Snodland, each designed to meet your specific requirements:

• Management Surveys: Suitable for occupied buildings with no major works planned. This survey identifies any asbestos-containing materials and monitors their ongoing condition.
• Refurbishment Surveys: Essential if you are carrying out repairs, renovations, or extensions. We locate asbestos in the areas likely to be disturbed during the project.
• Demolition Surveys: If a structure is due for demolition, this in-depth survey ensures all asbestos is identified and safely dealt with before work begins.
• Residential Surveys: Designed for homeowners and landlords, this survey provides peace of mind about whether asbestos is present in the property and how it should be managed.
