Protect your property with expert Asbestos Testing
In April 2016, the Government enacted the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations, requiring rigorous asbestos control in workplaces. These regulations mandate that all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) be identified and recorded by qualified professionals.
For properties built before 2000, a Comprehensive Asbestos Survey is legally required before renovation or demolition, as these activities classify the property as a workplace.
Our BOHS IP402-qualified Surveyors specialise in asbestos sampling and surveying. They conduct thorough surveys, assess the presence and condition of ACMs, and perform bulk sampling for laboratory analysis.
If you’re concerned that asbestos-containing material may be impacting your health or your family’s well-being, or if you’re planning renovations and need to determine whether a product contains asbestos, contact Scope today.

Identify and assess asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in buildings and structures to ensure safety and compliance for workplaces and rental properties.
Generally, asbestos-containing materials that are in good condition will not release asbestos fibres. There is no danger unless fibres are released and inhaled into lungs. Asbestos becomes a problem when it is altered or removed. When asbestos is touched, it can release harmful airborne fibres. Airborne asbestos fibres are generally the most dangerous, so it is critical that these are managed correctly.
Asbestos testing involves collecting samples from suspected materials in a building and analysing them to determine if they contain asbestos fibres.

You should consider asbestos testing before starting renovations or demolitions, when buying or selling a property, or if you suspect materials containing asbestos are deteriorating or damaged.
If asbestos-containing materials are found in your property, the next steps may include developing an asbestos management plan, considering options for encapsulation or removal by qualified professionals, and ensuring proper maintenance and monitoring to prevent fibre release.
The cost of asbestos testing depends on factors such as the number of samples collected, the size of the property, and the location. If you have any worries or concerns, feel free to contact the team at Scope Building Surveyors.
