Services
Asbestos Management Surveys
Our UKAS-accredited management surveys identify asbestos-containing materials in buildings. We assess their condition and provide detailed reports with risk assessments and remediation recommendations. This service helps duty holders comply with Regulation 4 of CAR 2012 through comprehensive photographic records and annotated plans.
Refurbishment Surveys
Fully intrusive inspections prior to renovation or demolition works. We locate all asbestos materials in project areas using HSE-compliant methods. Our detailed reports include material analysis and removal recommendations, ensuring safe project execution while meeting HSG264 guidelines.
Asbestos Testing
Sample analysis in our UKAS-accredited laboratory. We use stereo and polarised light microscopy to identify asbestos types in building materials. Results are provided with full documentation, supporting informed decision-making for management or removal processes.
Air Testing
On-site air quality monitoring using mobile laboratories. We conduct four-stage clearance procedures and real-time fibre counting. Clients receive immediate electronic certificates with results, ensuring compliance with exposure limits and safe reoccupation after removal works.
Awareness Training
Classroom-based training meeting CAR 2012 Regulation 10 requirements. Our courses cover asbestos identification, health risks, and safe working practices. Participants learn to recognise ACMs and understand management procedures, essential for maintenance workers and property managers.
Questions
What is asbestos and why is it dangerous?
Asbestos is a mineral with heat-resistant properties used in construction until 1999. When disturbed, it releases fibres that cause lung diseases including mesothelioma. Our surveys identify ACMs to prevent exposure risks.
Do I need an asbestos survey for my property?
Commercial properties and communal residential areas require surveys under CAR 2012 Regulation 4. We recommend management surveys for any pre-2000 building to identify ACMs and develop safe management plans.
How does your UKAS accreditation benefit clients?
UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17020 and 17025 ensures technical competence. Our accredited status guarantees rigorous surveying and testing standards, providing legally defensible reports and analysis accepted by regulatory authorities.
What areas do you cover?
We operate across Brighton, London, Kent, Hampshire, Surrey, and the South East. Our laboratory processes postal samples from across Europe, supporting nationwide clients with asbestos testing requirements.
Can you help with asbestos removal projects?
We provide project management for complex removals, ensuring compliance with regulations. As independent consultants, we offer impartial oversight of removal contractors, verifying completion to required standards through air testing and final inspections.
How quickly do you provide test results?
Our in-house laboratory delivers bulk analysis results within 24-48 hours. Air testing provides immediate on-site results, with electronic certificates emailed directly to clients during clearance procedures.
