Asbestos surveys

We conduct detailed asbestos surveys to meet the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2006. These regulations specify three types of asbestos survey explained below.

Type 1 asbestos survey:

To identify the presence, type and extent of suspected asbestos containing materials on site, including an assessment of their condition. No samples are taken to confirm the presence of asbestos and therefore, materials have to be presumed to be asbestos or to contain asbestos - unless there is information to indicate that they are not.

Type 2 asbestos survey:

It comprises a sampling, identification and assessment survey and is the survey type mostly usually asked for. Samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos are taken from all accessible areas and are sent to a UKAS accredited laboratory for the samples to be analysed to confirm whether asbestos is present.

Type 3 asbestos survey:

This is a full access, sampling and identification survey. It includes intrusion into sealed voids, under floors, in ducts and enclosed spaces (e.g. above ceilings) and other inaccessible areas. Before demolition, remodelling and refurbishing projects are undertaken this type of asbestos survey must be done.

Envex experienced and trained asbestos surveyors are qualified to carry out asbestos surveys of industrial sites, offices, shops, farms, housing and other premises (whatever their size) to the standards set out in the Health and Safety Executive Guidance Note MDHS 100.

Information from all of the above surveys can be inputted onto a unique software package so you get a flexible asbestos register.
