What type of asbestos surveys do you provide in Hedge End?
There are two types of asbestos surveys that are typically used in the UK – Asbestos Management Surveys and Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys. We also offer our Re-Inspection Survey for continued asbestos management. The aim of an asbestos survey is to find Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and record what type of asbestos it is, where and how accessible the ACM is, the condition it’s in and any surface treatment.
To determine the type of asbestos in your Hedge End-based property, a sample will have to be taken but this is typically non-intrusive. If you do find asbestos in your property, see our blog on what you should do.
