Frequently Asked Questions

Asbestos, a naturally-occurring fibrous material mineral was commonly used in the UK until 1999 in products such as mattresses, floor tiles, textured ceilings and even in cement water tanks Asbestos isn’t dangerous unless it becomes disturbed or airborne, where it can easily be inhaled through the lungs. The inherent risks became more apparent in the late 1960s and 70’s so much so that by 1999, the UK had prohibited all types of asbestos. Consequently, structures built before 2000 require an asbestos survey and its safe removal to remain compliant with legislation and keep anyone on the premises safe at all times.

You should not start any work until you are 100% positive that there are no asbestos-containing materials in or on the site. We have a team of dedicated professionals who can perform an initial survey to determine the extent of contamination and draw up plans for extraction and disposal.

A management survey typically takes between 2-3 hours including a sample material collection. Once we have the sample report, we can supply you with the full report within 24-48 hours

No, you don’t. However, many estate agents advise buyers to conduct a survey report for peace of mind.
