Our straightforward process involves a trained surveyor safely collecting a sample, which is then dispatched to a UKAS-accredited asbestos laboratory for analysis. You'll receive a formal certificate confirming the presence or absence of asbestos fibres.

Essential Asbestos Surveys for Informed Decision Making

An asbestos survey is crucial for effective asbestos management and is a legal mandate for all non-domestic properties constructed before 2000. We provide a variety of surveys tailored precisely to your specific requirements:

  • Asbestos Management Surveys: This is the standard survey for occupied buildings, designed to identify and assess the condition of any accessible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), enabling the creation of an asbestos register and a proactive management plan.
  • Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys: This is a fully intrusive survey, legally required before any construction, renovation, or demolition work. It meticulously locates all ACMs, even those hidden within the building's fabric, so they can be safely removed prior to work commencing.
  • Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys: An indispensable check for anyone considering buying a home. We pinpoint any potential asbestos issues in a property you intend to purchase, empowering you to make a fully informed decision and budget accurately for any necessary remedial work.

Our primary service revolves around the safe and meticulous asbestos removal and subsequent disposal of all asbestos materials. We strictly adhere to Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, ensuring your site is left completely safe and clean. Our asbestos removal East Midlands services encompass:

  • Domestic Properties: This includes garages, sheds, Artex removal, floor tiles, soffits, and various forms of insulation.
  • Commercial Buildings: From offices and schools to retail units and public buildings.
  • Industrial Sites: Warehouses, factories, boiler rooms, and extensive plant rooms.

Our comprehensive process typically includes full site containment, continuous air monitoring throughout removal, a thorough clean-up, and the legal transportation and proper disposal of all hazardous waste. For licensable works, such as licensed asbestos removal, we provide a crucial four-stage clearance test and a reoccupation certificate, confirming the area is safe for return. We also handle non-licensed asbestos removal with the same dedication to safety and compliance.

If you suspect a material contains asbestos, the only way to be certain is through professional testing. Our service is fast, safe, and accurate.
We can test any material you're worried about, but common ones include:

  • Artex and other textured coatings
  • Ceiling and floor tiles
  • Cement sheets on garages and roofs
  • Soffits, fascias, and guttering
  • Pipe lagging and insulation boards
  • Bitumen adhesives and toilet cisterns
    Our process is simple: a trained surveyor safely collects a small sample. This goes straight to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. You'll then get a formal certificate confirming whether asbestos fibres are present or not.

If your property, whether a home or business, was built before the year 2000, it might contain asbestos. A survey is crucial. For homes, especially if you're buying or planning renovations, a pre-purchase or refurbishment survey pinpoints any hidden risks. For commercial properties, a management survey is a legal must to meet your "duty to manage" asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We carry out asbestos surveys in Lincoln and across the whole East Midlands.

Absolutely. Asbestos In Homes specialises in domestic asbestos removal, tackling common issues like Artex removal, old garage roof asbestos, and floor tiles. For businesses, landlords, and larger projects, our commercial arm, BESA PROPERTY SERVICES LTD, provides comprehensive commercial asbestos solutions, from offices in Nottingham to factories in Leicester. We cover the entire East Midlands for all types of asbestos removal.

The distinction comes down to risk. Non-licensed asbestos removal typically involves materials where fibres are less likely to become airborne, like asbestos cement sheets. Licensed asbestos removal applies to higher-risk, more friable materials, such as asbestos insulation board or pipe lagging, which demand stricter controls and an HSE-licensed contractor. We are fully qualified and equipped for both licensed asbestos removal and non-licensed tasks, making sure every job is done safely and legally.

For any non-domestic property built before 2000, you have a legal "duty to manage" asbestos. We help you fulfil this duty through a full asbestos management service. This includes conducting management surveys, creating an asbestos register, developing a clear management plan, and offering re-inspection services. We ensure your business in Lincoln, Derby, or anywhere in the East Midlands stays compliant and your staff stay safe.

Yes, garage roof asbestos removal is one of our most frequent jobs for homeowners across Nottingham, Lincoln, and the East Midlands. We'll safely remove and dispose of the asbestos cement roof panels according to all regulations. While our primary focus is safe asbestos removal, we can definitely advise on suitable, modern, non-asbestos replacement options to help you get your garage back in shape.
