An asbestos survey is a crucial step for maintaining health and safety within any property, particularly those built before the year 2000. For commercial property owners and landlords in Cottingham, meeting the legal 'duty to manage' asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 is a mandatory requirement. Our detailed surveys identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) present, allowing for informed decisions regarding their safe management or removal. Protect your family, staff, or tenants by understanding the asbestos risk in your Cottingham property.

We provide a comprehensive range of asbestos survey types specifically designed to meet different needs for Cottingham properties:

• Asbestos Management Surveys: The standard survey for occupied domestic and commercial buildings. This identifies accessible ACMs, assesses their condition, and helps create an asbestos management plan for ongoing safety.
• Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys: A fully intrusive building survey essential before any planned renovation or demolition work in Cottingham. This locates all ACMs, including hidden ones, ensuring they are safely removed prior to any disturbance.
• Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys: An invaluable property inspection for prospective home buyers in Cottingham. This survey highlights any potential asbestos issues, enabling you to make an informed purchase decision and budget for any necessary remedial work.

If you suspect a material in your Cottingham property contains asbestos, the only way to confirm its presence is through professional asbestos testing and sampling. Our trained surveyors safely collect samples which are then sent to UKAS-accredited laboratories for precise analysis. This guarantees accurate results, providing you with a formal certificate confirming the presence or absence of asbestos fibres. Common materials we test include Artex, ceiling tiles, cement garage roofs, and pipe lagging.
