A residential and retail district located in the heart of central London, Knightsbridge is characterised by its assortment of buildings, architectural delights, and examples of how old London meets the modern lifestyle through both physical and metaphorical displays of British life. One thing which unites both the residential properties in the area and the business and commercial buildings is the need for health and safety through regular surveys – with our asbestos surveys in Knightsbridge designed to identify and assess the presence and stability of asbestos in every corner of the district.
An asbestos survey enables you to understand whether asbestos is present in a property you own, with surveys highly recommended and actively encouraged for all those who own properties which were built prior to 2000. This is because any property built during or before the 1990s likely used asbestos as part of the insulating materials, until it was determined that the material has direct links with serious and life changing respiratory and health conditions.
So, how do you know if you need an asbestos survey in Knightsbridge and what do you need to know about the process?
Understanding the asbestos survey process
When you get in touch with us, we will first send a consultant out to your address to assess the likelihood of asbestos being present in the building. With a focus on education, awareness, advice, and practical support, our team will then conduct the best survey in respect of your property, situation, and individual needs – whether that’s a management survey or a removal survey and subsequent service. An asbestos management survey may well identify the presence of asbestos but find that it is stable and intact enough to remain undisturbed for a set period of time. If this is the case, follow up surveys will be recommended at regular intervals to ensure the long term safety of residents and/or your family.
If asbestos removal is needed, either because any asbestos present is unstable and therefore dangerous, or because the homeowner or developer is seeking permission to renovate or demolish parts of the structure, then our team will conduct a thorough sweep of the building – safely removing and disposing of material found. This can only be completed in a property which is not currently being lived in, because of the dangers associated with airborne asbestos particles.
How do I know if I need an asbestos survey?
It is advised that you book an asbestos survey if you live in a property or own a property or building which was built before 2000. Crucially, you do not have to know whether or not the material is present to speak to or book a survey with our team – our job is to find out whether the material is there and advise you on the best procedure to manage and/or remove it.
