Asbestos Surveys
|
Would you like to find a company that offers asbestos surveys?
If you are concerned about the presence of asbestos in your home or business premises, then it would be recommended that you start to research the wide range of companies that offer asbestos surveys.
A tiny amount of exposure to asbestos, which was widely used as a building material throughout the UK from the 1950s through to the mid-1980s, commonly poses little risk. However, asbestos fibres and dust can potentially be very dangerous if inhaled in higher concentrations over a long period of time, as they can cause serious lung diseases like cancer, often twenty to thirty years after the initial exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos surveys these days fall into two categories: Management and Refurbishment/Pre-demolition. Management asbestos surveys are legally required for all commercial premises built before 2001, while Refurbishment/Pre-demolition asbestos surveys are legally required for any building that is being refurbished or demolished.
What should be your first resort for locating providers of asbestos surveys?
Though browsing the phone book may seem like one obvious way of finding companies like these, it should be nowhere near your first resort. Instead, get with the 21st century, head onto the Internet, and try searching for 'asbestos surveys' using a decent Internet search engine like Bing or Yahoo. The quality of results instantly amassed in this way should far surpass those of clumsily thumbing through the phone book for hours.
What would the ideal provider of asbestos surveys be like?
The right company should clearly provide both Management and Refurbishment/Pre-demolition asbestos surveys. The final report of either should usually become available within a week of the inspection, in both an electronic PDF version and bound hard copy. The report's findings could alternatively be delivered in an updatable database format or a presentation to your staff or client, according to your particular needs. And finally, of course, the firm should give advice on managing the material or help with removing it.
The right company should be UK-based and be willing to undertake, and indeed, have a history of undertaking, asbestos surveys all over the country, in places as diverse as London, Manchester, Yorkshire, Hampshire and Portsmouth. |
