Asbestos
Asbestos is still a huge problem in the UK, from homes and factories to schools and farms. Contrary to popular belief, it does not all need removing as soon as it is discovered, and can be fairly easily managed so long as it does not pose immediate risk or be likely to be damaged easily.

We offer peace of mind to all of our clients, and a professional job with minimum disruption. Full in-house reinstatement services, from garage roofs to entire garages and sheds, including commercial cladding for warehouses and barns. Installation of fire breaks/fireproof panelling and pipe insulation.

Asbestos Surveys
Chess Environmental Ltd provide specialist asbestos surveys which identify and give recommendations for the management of asbestos containing materials within your premises.

• Management Surveys

The legislation regarding asbestos is clear. Every commercial premises in the UK should by now have been subject to an asbestos survey report, and measures taken to manage any materials containing asbestos. Your failure to have this information and a management plan in place could result in prosecution by the HSE.



Asbestos Survey Reports
The HSE publication HSG264 sets out the methodology for asbestos surveying any premises for asbestos containing materials (ACMs). It defines three types of asbestos survey.

Management Surveys
The purpose of a management surveys is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, and to assess their condition. Management surveys sample suspect materials which will be taken for analysis by a UKAS-accredited laboratory.

Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys
This survey may involve destructive inspection to gain access to all areas and is designed to be used as a basis for tendering the removal of ACMs from the premises prior to demolition or major refurbishment work.

Each Survey Report Pack includes:

• An asbestos register of ACMs
• Colour photographs of sampling points
• Site plans indicating each sampling point
• A certificate of analysis from a UKAS-accredited laboratory
• A CD with the full report in PDF format

All of our asbestos surveyors are qualified to carry out all types of asbestos surveys and have accumulated thousands of hours of experience in asbestos surveying.
