The Precision Group has been carrying out asbestos surveys for over 40 years in Public & Private, Industrial & Commercial, and Domestic properties.
The Precision Group conducts asbestos surveys within a building, property, or structure to identify asbestos-containing materials.
Asbestos surveys are often the most important tool in establishing the levels of risk present and therefore enables those with duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to fulfil them.
We offer three different types of asbestos surveys – Management Survey, Refurbishment & Demolition Survey and a Pre-Purchase Survey. Our asbestos team will fully advise what survey is required and will guide you through the entire process.
This survey will often involve minor intrusive work and some disturbance, including the collection of suspect asbestos samples.
This survey is not adequate if you are planning any intrusive or destructive refurbishment or upgrades which can include major maintenance works.
Your asbestos management survey will show you:
Asbestos-containing materials are most likely to be disturbed during construction work. A refurbishment and demolition survey should be carried out whenever construction work is being planned.
This includes refurbishment, maintenance that will be disturbing existing building materials, demolition, extensions, and other construction activities.

Asbestos is a group of minerals that occur naturally as bundles of fibres. There are 3 main types of asbestos Chrysotile, Amosite and Crocidolite, all types of asbestos have been linked with cancer. Asbestos acts as an insulator, has good fire protection properties and protects against corrosion. Because of this, it was extensively used from 1950s through to mid-1980s but can be found in buildings built before the year 2000.

When materials containing asbestos are disturbed they release fibres into the air that are not visible to the naked eye, when inhaling they can cause serious diseases. Side affects can often take a long time to develop, but once diagnosed, it is often too late to do anything. Asbestos can cause fatal and serious diseases such as Mesothelioma, Asbestos-related lung cancer, Asbestosis and Pleural thickening.

Asbestos is not visible to the naked eye. In order to 100% determine if asbestos is present material samples need to be lab tested using a form of transmission electron microscopy to reveal and identify what is present within a sample.
Asbestos can be found in many building products, examples include Sprayed Coatings on ceilings, walls, beams and columns, lagging on boilers and pipes, ceiling tiles, partition walls, cladding, insulating panels, roof, partition walls, gutters and down pipes.
