The property portfolio in Brentwood is hugely varied, with some of Essex’s biggest homes set just minutes from smaller townhouses, terrace developments, and flats. Because of this vast range of property types, knowing what surveys your home needs can be challenging – until now.
Here at South East Asbestos Surveys, our asbestos surveys and asbestos removal services in Brentwood and beyond are designed to remove the confusion and support you in protecting the health of your home and your family. Keep reading to find out more about our asbestos surveys in Brentwood.
What is an asbestos survey and why is it important?
An asbestos survey works to firstly identify the presence of asbestos, and then assess its structure and stability. This is important because, when intact, asbestos is relatively harmless and presents no immediate threat to those around. However, if the substance becomes broken and particles are allowed to release into the air, it quickly becomes a serious health risk which is known to cause respiratory issues and exacerbate other conditions.
Our surveys can be broken down into two main types:
- An asbestos management survey
- An asbestos removal survey and service
The former is used in most properties where asbestos is suspected, culminating in a report which outlines the need for immediate removal of the material or for long term management. The latter is required for those seeking demolition or renovations approval and ensures the safe removal and disposal of all asbestos regardless of its condition.
How do I know if I need an asbestos survey?
There are a couple of factors which can highlight the increased need for an asbestos survey, for example if your property was built before 2000 and if there are no existing records of it having had an asbestos survey in the past. However, regardless of whether or not you know asbestos is present, if your property is more than 20 years old it is recommended that you give us a call and book in an initial consultation and survey – both for your own safety and for your peace of mind.
Here at South East Asbestos Surveys, we provide asbestos removal and management services across Brentwood and beyond, supporting home and property owners from all walks of life with affordable support and unlimited advice. Give us a call today to find out more.
