Tackling the ‘Silent Killer’
Asbestos continues to bequeath a deadly legacy in Great Britain. Workers who were exposed regularly to asbestos in their places of work, maybe 50 years ago, are now living with chronic, and sometimes fatal, diseases. It’s known as the ‘silent killer’ because by the time the symptoms appear, it’s often too late to do anything about it.
According to the HSE, there are currently 5,000 asbestos related deaths each year. Throughout much of the 20th century, asbestos was considered an effective, low-cost insulating material. As such it was used on the majority of construction sites. Asbestos was banned in 1999, but any houses built prior to that date are likely to contain Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs).
Types of Asbestos Surveys in Dunstable
Pre-Purchase Asbestos Survey
If you’re considering buying a property that was built prior to 2000, there’s a risk that it may contain asbestos. This needn’t be a problem, so long as you know whether asbestos is present and where it’s located. A pre-purchase asbestos survey provides peace of mind.
Pre-purchase asbestos surveys identify any asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in your Dunstable property. If found, the locations are recorded and samples sent for analysis. You’ll receive our report promptly, letting you know whether we found ACMs and recommendations for action.
Asbestos Management Survey
If you manage a workplace, or publicly accessed building built prior to 2000, you will need to have an asbestos management survey carried out. This locates any asbestos containing materials (ACMs) that are at risk of being disturbed or damaged due to routine maintenance or occupational activities.
Asbestos management surveys in Dunstable comprise a visual assessment of the building. Where ACMs are thought to be present, samples are taken and analysed. Our report details all locations where ACMs are present, and makes recommendations for safe management.
Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Survey
Not all asbestos surveys in Dunstable are mandatory but the R&D survey is. If a refurbishment or demolition of a building constructed prior to 2000 is planned, it will need to be surveyed. Not to do so would be to risk spreading extremely hazardous airborne asbestos fibres.
An R&D survey will thoroughly inspect the building for asbestos containing materials (ACMs). This means that the survey is both visual and intrusive. A report detailing findings is provided promptly, following survey completion.
Asbestos Sampling Survey
Asbestos sampling surveys are used where there is a particular material that is suspected to contain asbestos. We can carry out asbestos sampling surveys in Dunstable for residential customers, or property developers involved in a refurbishment project.
Asbestos sampling is simple to arrange. We’ll organise collection of a sample from your property and send it off to the lab for analysis. The results are then delivered within 2 working days, with recommendations if asbestos is found.
