Asbestos Surveys in Cornwall & Devon

Ensuring your safety with professional asbestos surveying

DSW provide asbestos testing for both private and commercial clients throughout Cornwall and Devon. We offer two main types of professional testing and surveys. These are Asbestos Management Surveys and Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys.

In addition, we can also provide re-inspection surveys, which involve periodic inspections of buildings which are known to contain the toxic material. All inspections are performed by fully trained and qualified technicians.

We use local UKAS accredited laboratories and can provide results within 24 hours. Please get in touch.

Asbestos Management Surveys

Asbestos Management Surveys will identify whether ACMs are present within your building. If ACMs are found, the survey will determine whether the ACM is at risk of disturbance from day to day activities, occupancy and building maintenance. If the condition of the ACM is stable, often it makes more sense to leave it where it is, as generally ACMs that are in good condition and out of reach pose little risk.
​
Following the survey, a risk assessment report will be produced alongside an Asbestos Management Plan. Our technicians will also provide professional advice about whether the ACM needs removing or requires regular re-inspection to monitor its condition.
​
For commercial properties, the party responsible for the building is legally required to follow the Asbestos Management Plan to remain in compliance with Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Asbestos Re-Inspection Surveys

We provide Re-inspection Surveys to periodically assess the condition of known ACMs. Our qualified technicians will provide a thorough survey and determine whether the ACMs have deteriorated in any way.

If our technicians identify deterioration of ACMs that were once stable, we will advise on the best course of action to ensure your building is safe. Remedial action may include removal or encapsulation.
