Residential Asbestos Surveys in Kingston upon Thames and Surrounding Areas

Here at Key Asbestos Services Ltd, we are frequently asked to help in the process of purchasing a new house or flat. This usually occurs when suspicious material is flagged up during a property survey.

As a reputable asbestos company, we have over a decade of experience in residential asbestos surveys and site remediation. Based near Chessington, we are well-placed to help potential buyers across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Kent, London and Sussex with all their asbestos concerns and queries.

Asbestos House Survey

Naturally, anyone buying a property will want assurance that materials housed within it pose no risk to inhabitants or visitors. So, if your survey identifies potential asbestos, our team can collect and analyse samples and report on our findings.

We will be able to identify whether the suspect material is asbestos, what type it is and its associated risk. Our team can also advise you on any remedial action that is required.

Domestic Asbestos Surveys

We understand that the buying process can be stressful as well as exciting. That’s why our surveyors adopt quick turnaround times, so any delay in completion will be minimised as much as possible.
Our team has excellent attention to detail and can provide you with accurate findings, free from jargon. This will allow you to make informed decisions about your new home or investment property.

Asbestos Home Buyers Surveys

There is no legal requirement to remove asbestos, but it is crucial to know if a property you intend to buy contains the substance. This is because it is commonly mixed in with other materials and is not easily identifiable. What’s more, any future remodelling or refurbishment of the property would likely result in the asbestos being disturbed.

Pre–Purchase Surveys

Suspected asbestos-containing materials are often highlighted by home buyer and building surveys as you approach the exchange to buy a new house or flat.

Common items and materials that are flagged up include:

Homebuyers need to know if the suspect material contains asbestos, as the survey will not usually confirm this. Once we can confirm the presence of asbestos, we can assess the risk and what action needs to be taken to make the property safe.

What Can We Do About Suspected Asbestos Materials?

We can identify whether asbestos is present, what the potential risk is and what remedial action is required. This may require a full asbestos survey, especially where several potential asbestos-containing materials have been identified.

Where a specific material has been identified by a home buyers or building survey as suspected to contain asbestos, then we can carry out inspection and sampling of that material.

Asbestos materials can often be left in situ as long as their condition is monitored and steps are put in place to avoid disturbance of the asbestos-containing material.

What to Do About Asbestos if You Plan Refurbishment Works?

If you plan to undertake refurbishment or demolition works that could potentially disturb known asbestos, then removal will be required in advance of works.

As a team, we are fully licensed to carry out asbestos removal or encapsulation works.

Asbestos Surveys and Asbestos Registers for the Common Parts of Blocks of Flats

There is a requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for an asbestos register to be put in place and maintained for the common parts of blocks of flats.

We carry out asbestos management surveys of the common parts of blocks of flats, converted houses and HMOs. Our surveys identify whether asbestos-containing materials are present, their condition and what remedial action is required.

The asbestos survey and register are necessary to ensure that residents, workers and visitors are not exposed to potentially high-risk asbestos-containing materials. This ensures that all steps are taken to minimise any risk of fibre release and protect those who use the building.
