WHAT WE DO
Types of Asbestos Survey
Pre-Purchase Asbestos Survey
If you’re thinking of purchasing a property built before 2000, there’s a possibility that it may contain asbestos. This isn’t necessarily a problem, but without proper management asbestos can be dangerous to your health and a drain on your finances. We would always recommend a pre-purchase asbestos survey for peace of mind.
The purpose of a pre-purchase asbestos survey is to locate and identify any asbestos containing materials (ACMs) that might be disturbed in the day-to-day use of the property. All ACM locations are recorded and samples are sent to the lab for analysis. The asbestos survey report is generated detailing the location, extent and condition of any ACMs along with our recommendations. You will receive your survey report by email, typically within two working days of the survey completion.
Asbestos Management Survey
An asbestos management survey determines the presence, extent and condition of any Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM’s) that could be disturbed or damaged during the normal occupation of a building, including any maintenance activities.
Your asbestos consultant will visually assess the building and take samples of any materials that have the potential to contain asbestos. The samples will then be analysed and the results presented in an asbestos survey report within two working days of survey completion.
Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Survey
Before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out on buildings constructed before 2000, an asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey is required. Failure to carry out this work could result in the hazardous dispersal of asbestos fibres into the environment.
This type of survey will include both visual and intrusive inspection in order to access all areas of the site scheduled for demolition or refurbishment. In this instance, it’s critical to ascertain whether there are any asbestos containing materials (ACMs) on the site.
Asbestos Sampling Survey
If you have a specific material that you suspect could contain asbestos, we can carry out an asbestos sampling survey. This is a cost effective service for homeowners who are concerned about the fabric of their property. We also regularly sample for property developers in need of urgent analysis of a suspect material uncovered during a refurbishment or demolition project.
Asbestos sampling is a simple process. Give us a call and we’ll arrange a prompt visit to collect a sample of the material. The lab analysis results are then delivered to you by email within two working days.
Why choose Safety Surveys?
Fast response
We keep our asbestos survey work local to ensure a fast response. Where available, we can have your surveyor on site the very same day you contact us. Typically, we'll have the approved asbestos survey report to you within two working days of survey completion.
Competitive Pricing
Working locally minimises our overheads. Safety Surveys pass these savings on to our clients to guarantee competitive pricing on every service we offer. We’ll beat any like-for-like written quotation for asbestos surveys and asbestos testing within Herts, Beds & Bucks.
Experienced Professionals
Our asbestos surveyors are fully qualified holding a minimum of the BOHS P402 certificate. We have many years of asbestos survey experience working within UKAS accredited organisations. All asbestos survey work is carried out to HSE guidance, HSG264.
‘Can Do’ Approach
We approach our work with a proactive attitude and a friendly smile! We appreciate that not everyone is familiar with the legislation and requirements surrounding asbestos so we keep the jargon to a minimum. We invite and value feedback from all of our clients.

From the first point of contact the level of service we got from Safety Surveys was exceptional. First contact was via their website at about 10pm on a Thursday evening. We had a response within about 15 minutes! Lee provided a variety of time/ date options for our survey. We then delayed a couple of weeks and when we reconnected, Lee again responded immediately. Scott (the surveyor) arrived on time and carried out a thorough refurbishment and demolition survey - the report was detailed and clear. We had the report back in a couple of days. He was polite, courteous and tidy in examining our house. We got about 5 quotes and they were excellent value when compared to the market. We would highly recommend.

Lee was fantastic from beginning to end. He got back to me really quickly after I made an enquiry about testing for asbestos, he guided me through how many samples we might need taking and went the extra mile to check the ceilings in the house as we were unsure where the artex had been identified by the surveyor. He kept me in the loop the whole way through and made sure i was happy with each step. Would highly recommend Safety Surveys and would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you for a fast, efficient service at a reasonable price.

This is going to seem too good to be true, but believe me it's not.Lee's service is outstanding from start to finish.Quick response to initial enquiry and early availability for the survey. He's very friendly, knowledgeable and thoroughly professional, giving you confidence about how to manage something that could give you nightmares!The survey could not have been more thorough, investigating every nook and cranny where asbestos might be present (with many locations we would never have dreamed to check for).The report was provided by the end of the next day, including lab results! And I have to say it's one of the most thorough yet easily readable technical reports I've ever seen, including floor plans and maps with exact locations of where each sample was taken.I can't recommend him highly enough. If you suspect asbestos in your property, his service is worth every penny.

Lee is incredibly professional and from start to finish was a pleasure to deal with. We recently bought an old 1792 cottage which had work done in the 1950's - 70's. After buying the house we thought it best to have a survey (renovation and demolition surveys aren't really possible until you own the property for good reasons - the sellers don't want semi-intrusive samples in case you don't buy it!).Before we started any renovation we were keen to know what we were facing, and were obviously worried about it. Speaking with Lee was completely calming and we felt completely safe in his ability.We contacted him on the Sunday after purchase, and by the Thursday he was taking samples. We just received the survey, so turn around, including results from the lab in less than a week.We asked for additional samples as we were planning on removing walls and the property was two separate dwellings, and Lee was more than happy to spend more man hours testing than he planned for no additional cost, all we had to pay for was additional sampling fees which is totally to be expected.Overall I cannot give these guys a better review. Fast, efficient, and totally professional. If you suspect asbestos, get these guys in!

Lee was exceptional he replied instantly and delivered report day before he said it would be. As customer service goes this for us was second to none. The report for us was good news as no asbestos so this gave my parents complete peace of mind in purchasing the property. Definitely recommend this company very professional. We were shocked on how good the companys report was. We had called other companies but recommend to use Lee so glad we did. If you have doubts this company will go over and above with fabulous service.

Found Lee's company on the first link via google search. Not only was he prompt via email but he was reasonably price compared to other companies. He worked around my schedule as it was for a commercial property and he even works on weekends (bonus). He arrived on time but not only that i was greeted with a warm smile. We had a lovely chat and he carried out the survey. After the completion of the survey he explained the next steps and made everything simple for me. Top bloke and very professional. Will be recommending him for anyone who would like an asbestos survey. Thanks again Lee
