Our professionals are available for an asbestos survey in Wolverhampton to ensure you remain compliant with current legislation. Asbestos surveys are essential due to the large amount of asbestos used in buildings in the last century. It was regarded as a wonder material which withstood fire and helped to insulate heating units. Furthermore, it is light and easy to work with. However, it was since discovered to have other properties that are not as beneficial to the occupants of the buildings it was used in. Asbestos could be extremely deadly. The fibres that make up some types of asbestos can detach themselves through damage or wear and become airborne. This allows them to be inhaled and get into the lungs where the sharp spikes pierce the lining of the lungs. Once this happens there is no medical treatment that can reverse the damage.
Whenever renovations or building modifications take place in Wolverhampton, asbestos survey reports are a legal obligation before work commences. This allows the owner or manager of the building to supply the contractor with exact areas where asbestos can be found. Our qualified and professional staff will survey the building and take samples to be examined for traces of asbestos. You will receive a comprehensive report on the findings. Our service will extend to a meeting to discuss the drawing of the report which needs to be kept on the premises at all times. This informs everyone where the asbestos is and what type of asbestos it is. There are 3 main types of asbestos with differing levels of hazardous potential.
An asbestos survey in Wolverhampton will recommend the best possible method of containing the asbestos in your building. Contact ACS today to have a survey conducted by our professional team.
