Domestic Asbestos
Survey FAQs
Clear, straightforward answers to give you complete peace of mind before planning home improvements or renovations.
Do I need a survey before renovation?
Yes, having an asbestos survey before commencing refurbishment or demolition work is strongly recommended. Any domestic property built before the year 2000 may contain asbestos-containing materials. A survey prevents accidental disturbance, protecting your family, neighbours, and tradespeople from hazardous airborne fibres.
How long does a domestic survey take?
A standard domestic asbestos survey usually takes between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on your property's size, layout, and age. Our surveyors work methodically and quietly with minimal disruption to your daily routine. You can remain comfortably in your home during the entire inspection.
Will you need to take samples?
Yes, if suspect materials are identified, our certified surveyor will carefully collect discreet, pinpoint samples. Sampling is conducted under strict dust-suppression protocols using protective sealants so no fibres escape into your living areas. Samples are then sent directly to an accredited laboratory for precise analysis.
What will I receive after the survey?
You will receive a comprehensive, plain-English report within 24 to 48 hours of laboratory testing. The document includes clear photo documentation, exact material locations, confirmed lab results, and practical recommendations. It serves as an official safety record you can hand straight to contractors.
What if asbestos is found?
Finding asbestos is very common and not an immediate cause for alarm. If materials are undamaged and in good condition, they often pose zero health risk and can safely remain in place with periodic monitoring. If removal or remediation is necessary, our independent report outlines sensible, prioritized next steps.
Are surveyors insured and independent?
Every surveyor is fully qualified, accredited, and backed by comprehensive professional indemnity and public liability insurance. We operate completely independently of removal contractors, ensuring our advice is entirely objective, unbiased, and focused solely on your safety and budget.
