The Types of Surveys Which We Provide
Bulk Sampling
In some circumstances, a survey will not be required and only a handful of samples will be taken. This is common if a homeowner wishes to perform a do-it-yourself projects and suspects that a material may contain asbestos. It may also be requested by anyone who is concerned that a particular item or location might contain asbestos.
Persons purchasing a property constructed before 1999 would normally obtain a RICS survey report which may highlight suspicious items inside and outside of the structure that may contain asbestos and which would need further investigation and sampling. All samples are analysed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory and then forwarded to the customer. This could be a major factor when buying a property which may incur additional costs in asbestos remediation or removal.
