Before You Book
Which Asbestos Survey Do I Need?
The asbestos survey you need depends on the building’s use and proposed work. For occupied Derby premises, a management survey informs asbestos precautions during everyday use and foreseeable maintenance. Refurbishment or demolition work needs an intrusive survey of the affected scope.
Share the planned work and existing report so the type and coverage can be checked before booking.
Does All Asbestos Need To Be Removed?
Asbestos does not always need to be removed. Material in good condition that is unlikely to be disturbed may be managed in place under suitable controls. Damaged material or planned intrusive work can change that decision.
Use the survey, condition assessment and proposed activity to decide whether management, repair or removal is appropriate.
Does A Negative Sample Clear The Whole Building?
A negative asbestos sample does not clear the whole building. It applies to the submitted material and the laboratory examination, rather than every similar-looking product or hidden layer. Check whether sampling was representative and whether a survey is required for the wider work.
Keep the location and sampling limitations with the result.
