We regularly identify asbestos in properties that has not been picked up by a full Building Survey. The building survey often references materials suspected to contain Asbestos.
For blocks of flats or houses converted into flats there’s a legal requirement to carry out an Asbestos Management Survey of the common parts. This allows the Duty Holder, Property Manager or Residents’ Association to know the location of any Asbestos.
A garage ceiling inspection at a property in Wimbledon identified Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB). As a higher-risk asbestos material, the panels will require removal under controlled conditions by a licensed asbestos removal contractor. Identifying the material before any further work begins allows the correct next steps to be put in place.
Routine asbestos re-inspections are an important part of asbestos management. During a recent visit to Surbiton School, our surveyor checked previously identified asbestos materials, confirmed their condition and updated the asbestos records.
We returned to an industrial property in Epsom to re-inspect previously identified asbestos materials, including an asbestos-containing bitumen layer beneath the carpeted flooring. The visit allowed us to check its current condition and provide the client with an up-to-date record for ongoing asbestos management.
While surveying a private estate in Berkshire, our surveyor identified licensed asbestos pipe insulation beneath the floorboards. The area was immediately secured, allowing the client to safely plan the next stage of their refurbishment.
Key Asbestos recently carried out the safe removal of asbestos-containing Artex ceilings at an educational building in Tolworth. The work was completed under fully controlled conditions, with areas left clean, compliant and ready for refurbishment. The project was delivered with minimal disruption to the site’s daily operations.
During a recent survey at a property in Teddington, we identified asbestos cement debris scattered throughout the loft space. The homeowner wanted to make the area safe for future use, so our team provided a quotation and were booked in to handle the removal.
One of our recent projects involved the complete removal of asbestos-containing Artex ceilings throughout a flat in Putney. During the work, large amounts of insulation were also found above the ceilings, which required a full clean-up. Despite the scale of the job, the property was left immaculate, safe, and ready for refurbishment.
Key Asbestos recently carried out a flooring removal project at a residential property in Barnes. Once the old floor coverings were lifted, asbestos-containing bitumen was identified beneath. To make the area safe for refurbishment, our team encapsulated the surface using ET150, providing a secure, long-term solution without disruptive removal.
