ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT SURVEY

This type of survey is non-intrusive and is undertaken during normal occupancy to identify and then manage all reasonably accessible asbestos containing materials. The purpose of the survey is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect Asbestos containing materials within the building and assess their condition. Although sampling is the most common approach that has been used for surveys, an asbestos management survey can also involve presuming the presence or absence of asbestos.

MAJOR REFURBISHMENT / PRE DEMOLITION ASBESTOS SURVEYS

This type of survey involves intrusive inspection to locate all asbestos containing materials so that they can be removed and is necessary when a building is to be upgraded, refurbished or demolished. They are generally undertaken in buildings which are vacant and/or unoccupied. This survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all asbestos containing materials (ACMs) within the area where the refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building if demolition is planned.

The survey will involve destructive inspection as necessary, to gain access to all locations, including those that may be difficult to reach. Refurbishment work may vary from relatively small to large projects. Small scale work may occur in different parts of a building at different times over several years. A full asbestos sampling programme is undertaken in these areas to identify possible ACMs and to obtain estimates of the volume and surface area of the ACMs present. The survey is primarily designed to identify ACMs so that they can be removed in preparation for the refurbishment or demolition. Some advice is offered on the types of ACMs that it is permissible not to have removed prior to demolition.

ASBESTOS FIBRE IDENTIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH HSG 248

Rex Bishop and Son Ltd offers a competitive asbestos fibre identification service carried out in accordance with HSE Guidance Note Asbestos: The analysts’ guide (HSG 248), returning results by email within 24-48 hours in most cases.
In the United Kingdom, the three most common forms of asbestos are Chrysotile (white), Amosite (brown) and Crocidolite (blue). They are found in common building materials such as insulation board panels, bonded cements, gaskets, insulation, textured coatings and vinyl flooring.

Samples can be taken by our surveyors or collected from the client.

An asbestos fibre identification certificate is produced for each sample analyzed, which is available in a PDF format via email for a fast and reliable return of results.

Just a quick email to praise Jake and his team. They have done a fantastic job doing the demolition work in the Alp building here at Henley Bank but they have also gone above and beyond helping me with moving the big fridge that was still in the building. Much appreciated

Thank you so much to Nathan for leaving the paperwork in the office for me regarding the recent asbestos skylight removal. It looks great with it all removed. We just need new ceilings now! Thank you so much for a great job and reassurance throughout the process. Hope you all have a great Christmas break - when we get there! Kind regards,
