Asbestos House Survey & Removal Services
Asbestos was once a widely used material in the construction industry due to its affordability and fire-resistant properties. However, it is now known to pose serious health risks, including lung diseases and cancer, making it a significant concern in older homes. Properties built before 2000 are most likely to contain asbestos, especially in insulation and roofing materials. The importance of asbestos management in homes cannot be overstated, and an asbestos house survey and removal services are now essential for homeowners to ensure their properties are safe.
At South East Asbestos, we offer a wide range of services for both domestic and commercial properties. Our asbestos house surveys provide detailed reports, outlining whether your property requires ongoing asbestos management or immediate removal. We also offer follow-up surveys and professional asbestos removal at home, ensuring that all identified asbestos is dealt with safely and efficiently, no matter the current condition of your property.
Do You Need an Asbestos House Survey?
Here’s how to know for sure:
Asbestos exposure is hazardous, especially when fibres are disturbed and released into the air. If your house was built before 2000, there’s a chance it contains asbestos materials. To ensure your home is safe, it’s important to book a professional asbestos home survey.
Key indicators that you may need a residential asbestos survey include the age of the property, particularly in homes constructed before modern asbestos regulations, and the state of insulation and roofing materials. These materials may contain hidden asbestos that can become dangerous if damaged. If you are unsure, South East Asbestos can provide a hands-on consultation, visiting your home to evaluate whether a full asbestos house survey is needed.
Still not sure? Our team can help you understand the potential risks and either move forward with a survey or offer reassurance that your home is free from asbestos concerns. If asbestos is present, our reports will guide you through the next steps for managing or removing it.
The asbestos home survey and removal process
The first step in the asbestos house survey process is a site visit. Our qualified surveyors will inspect the property for any asbestos-containing materials, particularly focusing on areas such as insulation, roofing, and structural components where asbestos is commonly found. We’ll assess whether the asbestos is stable or if it is deteriorating and poses an immediate risk.
Asbestos materials that are found to be in good condition may not need immediate removal but will require regular monitoring and management. This is crucial to prevent any future risks as materials age. South East Asbestos provides ongoing management services, ensuring that asbestos in your home remains safe and contained.
For asbestos that poses a risk, we will recommend immediate asbestos removal at home. We handle the entire removal process, ensuring safety at every step
What to Expect During Asbestos Removal at Home
If asbestos removal is required, the safety of your household is our top priority. We will request that the property is vacated while our trained professionals carry out the work. The removal process begins by dampening the asbestos to prevent harmful dust particles from becoming airborne. This step is critical in ensuring the asbestos is safely removed without exposing anyone to risk.
Once the asbestos is removed, we follow strict disposal regulations to safely get rid of the materials. We then carry out a thorough sweep of the area using specialised vacuum equipment to eliminate any remaining traces of asbestos fibres. Once the process is complete, you will receive a final report confirming that your home is safe and asbestos-free.
