Asbestos consultancy
With over 70 years combined experience in the asbestos industry
we offer a full consultancy service with advice from our greatly
experienced staff in all aspects of asbestos related problems.
Whether its a question of the best way to identify if Asbestos is
present, through to how to manage or remove any asbestos already
identified, we aim to give the most professional and impartial
advice to assist our clients in making their decisions.
Establishing the presence of asbestos can only be
determined by means of sampling. Upon consultation with each
client, we identify the end result required and conclude the most
cost effective solution. This could be anything from a single
sample to a full Asbestos survey, depending on our clients
needs.
Consultation is also offered concerning the potential management
of any asbestos found during sampling and surveying the property.
We would not always recommend removal of ACM's (Asbestos Containing
Materials) that are in good condition, but would strongly recommend
removal if they are obviously breaking down and causing a
hazard.
Management would usually involve returning to site, on an annual
basis (as detailed in The Management of Asbestos in Non-domestic
Premises Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos at Work
Regulations 2002) to confirm the ongoing condition of the ACM's as
shown in the Asbestos Register. The risk assessment would be
updated and if there is a change we re-evaluate with our client to
confirm what their options are.
If removal is required, we discuss with our clients when this
should be carried out, taking into account whether the product
needs notifying to the H.S.E. as this takes 14 days. Not all
Asbestos is notifiable and if this is the case, we simply arrange a
start date agreeable to all parties.
We can also carry out on-site project management for Asbestos
removal if a licensed contractor is not required or if management
is required for a sub contractor already on-site.
