Whether you’re a homeowner planning renovations, a business owner managing your premises, or looking to buy or sell, an asbestos survey is vital. For homeowners, it helps you identify any potential risks before you start disturbing materials, protecting your family’s health. For commercial clients and landlords, it’s a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to manage any asbestos on your property. Our detailed surveys help you fulfil this duty, preventing health risks and avoiding hefty fines. We help you understand the risks associated with common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) often found in domestic and commercial buildings throughout our region.

To cover every situation, we provide different types of asbestos surveys tailored to your specific needs:

• Management Surveys: This is the standard survey, designed to identify and assess any ACMs that might be disturbed during normal occupation and maintenance activities. It helps you manage asbestos risks on an ongoing basis. Perfect for businesses and public buildings in Hingham.
• Refurbishment Surveys: If you’re planning any kind of renovation, alteration, or refurbishment work, this detailed survey is crucial. It’s more intrusive, locating all ACMs in the areas where work will take place, including those hidden within the fabric of the building. This helps prevent accidental exposure during your project.
• Demolition Surveys: Before any demolition, a full and intrusive survey is a must. This survey aims to locate all ACMs in the building, allowing for their safe removal before demolition begins, protecting workers and the environment.
  We’ll advise you on the right type of survey for your property and plans.

When you arrange an asbestos survey with us, here's what you can expect. Our experienced surveyor will visit your Hingham property at a time convenient for you. They’ll carefully inspect the building, looking for potential asbestos-containing materials. If necessary, they'll take small samples of suspect materials, always working safely and with minimal disruption. These samples are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Once we have the results, you'll receive a comprehensive report detailing any asbestos found, its type, location, condition, and clear advice on the best way to manage it – whether that means removal, encapsulation, or regular monitoring.
