Asbestos, while now banned, was widely used in construction before 2000. Undisturbed, it typically poses little risk; however, disturbance can release dangerous fibres, leading to serious health issues. An asbestos survey is the only way to accurately identify and assess any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within your Horncastle property. This crucial step allows for proper management, preventing accidental exposure and ensuring property safety. For commercial property owners and landlords in Horncastle, having an up-to-date asbestos survey is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 ('Duty to Manage').

Asbestos In Homes offers a full range of asbestos surveys, designed to meet varying requirements for properties across Horncastle and East Lindsey:

• Asbestos Management Surveys: This is the standard survey for occupied buildings, both domestic and commercial. It identifies and assesses the condition of readily accessible ACMs, allowing you to create an essential asbestos register and management plan. Crucial for ongoing property safety and legal compliance.
• Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys: Before any construction, renovation, or demolition work begins in Horncastle, an R&D survey is legally required. This fully intrusive survey locates all ACMs, even those hidden within the building's fabric, ensuring safe removal before work commences, protecting your contractors and future occupants.
