Domestic Asbestos Management Survey | Romford, Essex

Survey Process

This non-intrusive survey involved a careful and systematic inspection of all accessible areas of the property. Our licensed surveyors focused on areas where asbestos is most likely to be found, including:

• Internal Spaces: Examining ceilings, walls, flooring, and loft spaces for potential ACMs.
• External Features: Checking roofing materials, soffits, and the garden shed for asbestos-containing components.
• Utility Areas: Inspecting older pipe insulation, water tanks, and any visible ducting systems.

We prioritized a respectful and minimally disruptive approach, ensuring the survey was completed efficiently without affecting the homeowners’ routine.

Findings

The survey uncovered a few instances of ACMs, including:

• Decorative Ceiling Coatings: Some areas featured older textured finishes containing asbestos.
• Garage Roof Panels: Asbestos cement sheets were identified in the roof structure of the detached garage.
• Insulation Materials: Asbestos was found in insulation surrounding some older pipework in a utility area.

All materials were assessed for their condition, and none posed an immediate risk as they remained undisturbed.

Outcome and Recommendations

Following the survey, we provided the homeowners with a clear and detailed report, including:

• ACM Inventory: A thorough record of the locations and conditions of all identified asbestos materials.
• Risk Assessment: An evaluation of the likelihood of asbestos fibres becoming airborne under normal conditions or minor maintenance activities.
• Ongoing Management Plan: Practical advice for safely monitoring the ACMs, with recommendations for professional removal of higher-risk materials if needed in the future.

This survey equipped the homeowners with the knowledge and tools to manage asbestos safely and confidently within their property.
