What Makes a Good Asbestos Survey? Five Things Every Property Owner Should Expect
Not all asbestos surveys are created equal.
When choosing a surveyor, price is important but so is the quality of the inspection and the information you receive afterwards.
Here are five things every property owner should expect.
A Thorough Inspection
A professional survey should never be rushed.
Every accessible area of the property should be carefully inspected using a systematic approach.
Qualified Surveyors
Experience matters.
Qualified asbestos surveyors understand where asbestos was commonly used and know how to inspect buildings safely without causing unnecessary disturbance.
Laboratory Analysis
Where samples are required, they should be analysed by an appropriate laboratory such as the UKAS accredited lab we use here in Northern Ireland.
Visual inspection alone isn’t enough to confirm asbestos.
Clear Reports
Technical reports full of complicated terminology aren’t particularly helpful.
We believe clients deserve reports written in plain English, clearly explaining:
- What was found
- Whether it presents a risk
- What action is recommended
Honest Advice
Perhaps most importantly, you should receive honest advice.
If asbestos doesn’t need removing, we’ll tell you.
If management is the safest option, we’ll explain why.
Our goal isn’t to create unnecessary work, it’s to help you make informed decisions based on professional evidence.
That’s the standard we believe every asbestos survey should meet.
