What happens during an Asbestos Pre-Purchase Survey?

An Asbestos Pre-Purchase Survey is based on an Asbestos Management Survey. It aims to identify any accessible asbestos materials, as far as reasonably practical. It involves a normal, detailed visual inspection, extensive knowledge of construction, and taking some samples of suspicious materials. These are then analysed at a UKAS-accredited laboratory.

This survey is non-intrusive, and there is no damage to the property. If suspicious materials are identified, samples will need to be taken. A very small shaving of the material is necessary, however, we will always ensure to leave the material and premises in a safe condition after we obtain a sample.

Our experienced surveyors will identify and record the location, extent and condition of any asbestos containing materials and make recommendations regarding future actions that might need to be taken to reduce the risk of asbestos exposure.

When we release the report, we will provide a through quotation including both removal and remedial costs, allowing you to make an informed decision on whether your wish to progress with the purchase of the property.

Commercial Asbestos Pre-Purchase Surveys

If you own or manage a commercial property or are looking to buy one, you are responsible for any asbestos within the premises. Our asbestos surveyors can thoroughly examine a commercial building to identify Asbestos containing materials.

Whilst the fibres are invisible to the naked eye, our surveyors are knowledgeable about the types of materials that may have asbestos in them, such as roofing materials, textured coatings and many more.

If you are considering buying a commercial property at some point in the future, it is important to request this report. As every commercial premises will need an up to date asbestos report to remain compliant, to ensure that asbestos materials are regularly monitored as part of the management plan.
