Comprehensive Asbestos Services

Identifying asbestos-containing materials visually is challenging and unreliable. Materials like textured coatings, insulation boards, floor tiles, and cement products in buildings built or renovated before 2000 may contain asbestos. The only definitive way to identify asbestos is through professional sampling and laboratory analysis, which we provide.

Not necessarily. Asbestos materials in good condition and not disturbed generally pose minimal risk. The danger arises when these materials are damaged or disturbed, releasing fibers into the air. Our surveyors assess the condition and risk level of asbestos materials to determine whether management, encapsulation, or removal is the most appropriate action.

We offer two primary types of surveys: Management Surveys (for routine property management) and Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys (for properties undergoing renovation or demolition). Management Surveys are less intrusive and identify materials in accessible areas, while Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys are comprehensive and involve destructive inspection to locate all possible asbestos materials.

The timeline varies based on the size of the project, type and quantity of asbestos materials, and property access. Small-scale projects like removing a garage roof might take 1-2 days, while comprehensive removal in larger buildings could take weeks. After assessing your specific situation, we provide a detailed timeline with our proposal.

It depends on the location and extent of the work. For contained areas, we use sophisticated encapsulation methods that allow you to remain in unaffected parts of the property. For more extensive work or in smaller properties, temporary relocation might be necessary. We discuss these requirements during the consultation phase to ensure minimal disruption.

Upon completion, we provide a comprehensive documentation package including Consignment Notes (waste transfer documentation), Air Clearance Certificates, and a Completion Certificate. These documents confirm the work was conducted safely and in compliance with all regulations, which is important for property records and future property transactions.
