Refurbishment Survey in Ilford
Project Overview
Our team at Asbestos Surveys Essex recently undertook a comprehensive refurbishment survey for a beautiful semi-detached home in Ilford. This property, with its charming early 20th-century architecture, required a detailed asbestos survey to ensure safe renovations while preserving its historic character.
Approach to Completing the Project
To ensure the refurbishment project was safe and compliant, we followed a meticulous approach:
- Initial Consultation:
- Engaged with the homeowner to understand the planned renovations and reviewed any previous asbestos reports or building records.
- Comprehensive Inspection:
- Conducted a thorough inspection of the property, focusing on areas slated for refurbishment. This included inspecting loft spaces, behind wall panels, under floorboards, and within utility areas.
- Sample Collection:
- Collected multiple samples from suspected asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) for laboratory analysis, ensuring all areas impacted by the renovation were tested.
- Risk Assessment:
- Evaluated the condition and potential disturbance of identified ACMs, determining the risk they posed during the renovation work.
- Detailed Reporting:
- Compiled a comprehensive report detailing the findings, including the location, type, and condition of ACMs, along with recommendations for safe management or removal.
Importance of the Project

- Health and Safety:
- Ensured the renovation work could proceed without risking exposure to asbestos, protecting both the renovation team and future occupants from serious health issues such as mesothelioma and lung cancer.
