Boston’s rich history means many properties pre-date the year 2000, making them highly susceptible to containing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Without a professional asbestos survey, you could inadvertently disturb these hazardous materials, releasing dangerous fibres into the air. This not only poses significant health risks but can also lead to legal complications, particularly for commercial property owners. A professional asbestos survey in Boston is your first and most crucial step in identifying, assessing, and safely managing any asbestos present. It provides you with a clear asbestos report, allowing for informed decisions, safe planning for any refurbishment or demolition, and ultimately, a healthier environment.

Asbestos In Homes offers a range of asbestos survey types specifically designed to meet various requirements for properties in Boston and throughout Lincolnshire:

• Asbestos Management Surveys: This is the standard survey for occupied buildings, both domestic and commercial. It identifies and assesses the condition of accessible ACMs to help you create an asbestos register and management plan, fulfilling your legal 'duty to manage asbestos' under CAR 2012.
• Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys: Absolutely essential before any construction, renovation, or demolition work. This fully intrusive survey locates all ACMs, including those hidden within the building's fabric, ensuring they are safely removed before work commences. This is a vital step for any building project in Boston to avoid dangerous exposure and project delays.
• Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys: For home buyers in Boston, this survey is an invaluable tool. It identifies any potential asbestos issues in a property you intend to buy, allowing you to make an informed decision, negotiate prices, and budget for any necessary remedial work before commitment. It’s an investment in your future home's safety.

Our process for conducting an asbestos survey in Boston is thorough, safe, and transparent. Initially, our experienced surveyor will visit your property to meticulously inspect designated areas, taking samples of any suspect materials. These samples are then securely transported to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for expert analysis, ensuring the highest level of accuracy for your asbestos testing. Once results are available, we compile a detailed asbestos report, outlining the location, type, and condition of any ACMs found. For commercial clients, this report forms the basis of your asbestos management plan. We pride ourselves on clear communication throughout, making sure you fully understand the findings and recommendations.
