When You Need An Asbestos Survey
You may need an asbestos survey before building work, refurbishment, or any job that could disturb walls, ceilings, floors, roofs, or insulation. It is also helpful when you buy, sell, or take over an older property, especially those built before the year 2000.
Landlords, duty holders, and facilities managers often need a survey to protect tenants, staff, and visitors. A survey also supports risk plans, clear records, and safe contractor control, so work can be planned with fewer delays.
Asbestos Surveying Services
Asbestos Services Bournemouth provides clear, practical asbestos surveying for homes, offices, shops, and larger sites. We plan the visit around your needs, carry out a careful inspection, and take samples where needed. You receive a plain English report with photos, locations, and next steps. We can also update your asbestos register and help you plan safe works with contractors.
Asbestos management surveys
A management survey helps you manage asbestos during day to day use of a building.
We identify likely asbestos materials, note their condition, and record where they are. You get advice on how to keep them safe, including checks, labels, and simple control steps.
Asbestos refurbishment surveys
A refurbishment survey is needed before you change or upgrade parts of a building.
We inspect the exact areas where work will happen, including behind panels and within voids where safe access is possible. Findings help you plan safe removal and reduce surprises once work starts.
Asbestos demolition surveys
A demolition survey is for buildings that will be demolished or fully stripped out. It is more intrusive, as we look in hidden spaces and construction layers to find asbestos.
This gives a clearer picture for licensed removal and supports safer demolition planning and costs.
Asbestos re-inspection surveys
A re-inspection survey reviews asbestos that has already been found and recorded.
We check condition, damage, and any changes since the last visit, then update your register. Regular checks help you spot problems early and show that controls are being followed.
Asbestos reporting and register creation
After the survey, we create a clear report that is easy to use. It includes room by room findings, sample results, photos, and risk notes.
We can also build or update your asbestos register, with simple guidance for ongoing management and checks.
Asbestos sampling and testing
Sampling and testing confirms whether a material contains asbestos. We take small, controlled samples using safe methods, then send them to a suitable laboratory for analysis.
Results are clearly shown in your report, so you can decide what action is needed next.
Sampling And Laboratory Testing
Sampling is not always needed, but it is the best way to confirm a suspect material. If sampling is required, we choose safe points, use controlled methods, and keep disruption low. Samples are sealed, labelled, and sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis.
The lab checks the sample under special equipment and confirms the asbestos type, if present. If a sample cannot be taken safely, we record this and give a cautious assessment. We then add the results to your report, with clear notes on what to do next and how to avoid exposure.
