Domestic Asbestos Surveys
Residential Services
I am buying/selling a house do I need a survey?
This depends on the advice from your estate agent, insurance company, mortgage broker, building surveyor etc. Before parting with your money on that bargain investment property or new family home its worth thinking about how asbestos may have an impact on your budget or current/future salability prospects. Asbestos was used in over 3,000 products and many of these where used in the construction and decoration of domestic properties.
What does it cost for a full inspection?
Surveys start from a little as £150+VAT for a small house or flat. For this you will receive a full survey of the property plus any outbuildings associated with it. We will confirm the presence of asbestos by taking a small sample away to be analysed by a UKAS accredited laboratory.
Estate Survey reports are delivered in full building survey format complete with colour photographs and risk assessments for each material identified. Also included is an informal estimate of the potential removal costs associated with the property. This is particularly useful if you are planning refurbishment works after a purchase or plan to offer the property for let. Asbestos removal can be very expensive and we will advise on the potential financial risks involved.
