Asbestos Management Survey | Epping, Essex

Project Overview:

Our team recently completed an Asbestos Management Survey at a semi-detached property in Epping, Essex. The survey was conducted to identify and assess asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within the home, helping the homeowners take proactive steps to manage and control potential asbestos risks.

The property, a well-maintained semi-detached house, required a thorough examination due to its age and the likelihood of asbestos in certain building materials. Our expert surveyors conducted a detailed inspection, covering all accessible areas, including attics, basements, and external structures, to locate any ACMs that could pose a risk if disturbed.

Survey Process

The survey followed strict safety protocols, with each room inspected systematically for common asbestos-containing materials such as:

• Ceiling and wall coatings.
• Insulation around pipes and in loft spaces.
• Cement products used in roofing and external cladding.

Additionally, we checked less visible areas to ensure a comprehensive assessment, using specialist tools to examine hard-to-reach spaces where asbestos may have been used.

Findings

Several asbestos-containing materials were identified in different parts of the property. Each ACM was assessed for its condition and potential risk of disturbance, allowing us to recommend practical management steps to the homeowners. Our findings included detailed notes on the locations, conditions, and specific recommendations for safely managing each ACM.

Outcome and Recommendations

The homeowners received a comprehensive report with:

• Detailed findings on the presence and condition of ACMs.
• An asbestos management plan to ensure these materials remain undisturbed and do not pose a risk in the future.
• Guidance on regular monitoring and safe handling practices for the identified ACMs.

This survey has provided the homeowners with peace of mind, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and steps to maintain a safe living environment.
