Asbestos Surveying

Welcome to Tees Insulation International Ltd. We provide specialist asbestos surveys which identify and give recommendations for the management of asbestos containing materials within your premises.

Asbestos Survey Projects

• Type 1 Asbestos Surveys
• Type 2 Asbestos Surveys
• Type 3 Asbestos Surveys
• Asbestos Reports
• Asbestos Testing

The legislation regarding asbestos is clear. Every commercial property 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 MDHS-100 sets out the methodology for asbestos surveying any premises for asbestos containing materials (ACMs). It defines three types of asbestos survey;

Type 1 Asbestos Report: Location and Assessment Survey

The purpose of the type 1 asbestos survey is to locate the presence and extent of any ACMs in the premises, where reasonably practical, whilst deferring the need for sampling and analysis until a later time. Our asbestos survey report would provide assessment on any material which is presumed to contain asbestos. The duty holder would therefore bear the potential cost of the management of some non asbestos containing materials.

Type 2 Asbestos Report: Standard Sampling, Identification and Assessment Survey

The purpose and procedures in the type 2 asbestos survey are the same as a Type 1 asbestos report, except that representative samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos are taken. The samples are then analysed by a UKAS accredited laboratory and the results used to compile a register of the ACMs within the premises. The condition of each ACM is assessed and recommendations made regarding their management.

Type 3 Asbestos Report: Full Access Sampling and Identification Survey

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. Samples are taken and analysed by a UKAS accredited laboratory but the survey does not assess the condition of the asbestos, other than to note areas of damage or where additional asbestos debris may be expected to be present.

Each Tees Insulation International Ltd. Survey Report Pack includes;

• An asbestos register of asbestos containing materials
