We provide Asbestos Surveys for Care Homes and regularly complete contracts for Care Providers.
Understanding that Service Users may have individual requirements, our surveyors work around the needs at the time, for example, waiting until areas are clear before attempting to record results or take asbestos samples.
Our surveyors are DBS checked and have also been thoroughly vetted by Essex Police, a requirement of the work we carry out for organisations on a regular basis.
Who Is The Asbestos Dutyholder in a Care Home?
The Dutyholder of a care home is usually the person responsible for the overall management of the building. This will often be a director or senior manager i.e. whoever is at the top of the organisation’s structure of responsibility.
What does a Management Survey include?
An Asbestos Management Survey involves the surveyor walking around all accessible areas of the building and taking samples of any suspected asbestos-containing materials. These samples are then analysed in a UKAS approved laboratory and marked on a report of the building, usually with photographs of the area in question.
Why Are Asbestos Management Surveys Required?
Asbestos Management Surveys allow anyone who uses the building (that including staff, members of the public and tradespeople) to understand where asbestos-containing materials are located so that they can be avoided and managed as necessary.
What is the Cost of an Asbestos Management Survey?
The cost of an asbestos survey will depend on a number of factors including the number of rooms and shared/communal areas.
Our Sheltered Accommodation Contains Self Contained, Rented Flats. Do We Still Need An Asbestos Survey?
There is no duty to have an asbestos survey carried out on privately rented flats or apartments. However, the Dutyholder must still have a survey carried out on any communal areas i.e. landings, shared bathrooms, shared kitchens, shared living areas.
