Asbestos Surveys
Our asbestos surveys identify asbestos-containing materials in residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Conducted by BOHS-certified surveyors, these assessments follow HSE guidelines to ensure compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We provide detailed reports highlighting asbestos type, location, and condition, along with management recommendations for safe handling or removal.
Lead Paint Surveys
Lead paint surveys detect hazardous lead-based paints in older buildings using rapid XRF analysis. Our assessments identify risks during refurbishment projects, particularly in period properties. We provide actionable reports to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, protecting occupants from lead poisoning risks during renovation or demolition activities.
Formaldehyde Testing
Formaldehyde testing identifies this harmful VOC in older building materials like UFFI foam and adhesives. Our process involves material sampling and laboratory analysis to determine formaldehyde concentrations. We provide detailed reports with safe handling recommendations, ensuring compliance with COSHH regulations and protecting occupant health during refurbishment projects.
PCBs Testing
PCBs testing identifies polychlorinated biphenyls in hydraulic fluids, sealants, and other building materials. Our surveys use laboratory analysis to detect PCB concentrations, crucial for safe demolition of industrial sites. We provide compliance documentation to ensure proper waste stream management and regulatory adherence during redevelopment projects.
Anthrax Surveys
Anthrax surveys test for anthrax spores in horsehair plaster commonly found in older buildings. Our specialists use rapid testing methods to identify contamination risks in listed properties. We provide risk assessments and remediation guidance to ensure safe handling during renovation projects involving historic construction materials.
Questions
What does an asbestos survey include?
Our surveys identify asbestos-containing materials, their condition, and location. Reports include laboratory results, asbestos registers, and management recommendations following HSE guidelines.
Why test for lead paint in older buildings?
Lead paint testing prevents poisoning risks during renovations. Our XRF analysis identifies hazardous materials requiring controlled removal to protect occupants and workers.
How long does asbestos testing take?
Laboratory results for asbestos samples typically take 48 hours. We provide a certificate of analysis detailing asbestos type and condition.
Do you offer nationwide services?
Yes, we operate nationwide with offices in Hampshire, London, and Somerset, covering all major UK regions for hazardous materials testing.
What are PCBs and why test for them?
PCBs are toxic chlorinated compounds found in old building materials. Testing ensures safe removal during industrial site redevelopment to prevent environmental contamination.
How do you handle anthrax risks in plaster?
We conduct anthrax surveys on horsehair plaster in listed buildings, providing risk assessments and remediation guidance for safe renovation of historic properties.
