With our North West England office being situated only about an hour’s drive away from Blackpool in Manchester, our skilled asbestos operatives are accustomed to serving the needs of businesses, organisations, and individuals in the seaside town.

Blackpool is known for many things, including the immediately recognisable Blackpool Tower, Pleasure Beach, and Illuminations. However, in common with other parts of the UK, the locality is also home to many buildings in which asbestos is present.

The now-banned fibrous silicate mineral can pose severe risks to human health if it is disturbed. However, you may be unsure whether the carcinogenic substance is even present in your Blackpool building. Then, there is the factor of needing to comply with the stringent requirements set out by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).

So, whether your property or land is situated in North Shore, Bispham, Poulton-le-Fylde, or somewhere else in the Blackpool area, a professional and comprehensive asbestos survey could be vital for establishing the exact asbestos situation there.

Having received the resultant asbestos report, you will then be able to make informed decisions on how to manage any asbestos discovered.

Not only are we accredited for asbestos management surveys, refurbishment surveys, and demolition surveys, but we also hold a high level of insurance, and we are known for our speed and dependability.

Whatever you need from a Blackpool asbestos survey, we can provide it

As can be said about other parts of the UK, Blackpool hosts a very broad range of commercial, industrial, and residential buildings alike. So, you might easily be unsure whether asbestos could be present in your property – and if so, where it may be present, and how to spot it.

Our quality assured asbestos surveyors can help take these worries off your hands. They know how to use the latest and most proven surveying and sampling methods. Moreover, they are thoroughly prepared for any situation that could arise at your site with regard to asbestos.

Different types of asbestos survey are required in different circumstances. So, we can help ensure the appropriate type of inspection is carried out at your Blackpool property.

As we referenced above, once we have completed the survey, we will also issue you with a comprehensive asbestos report. This will outline any asbestos materials that have been found to exist on your site, together with photographs and recommendations.

The major things to know about asbestos surveys in Blackpool

We are often asked certain questions about asbestos surveys; we have picked out a few below, along with answers. If there is anything you would appreciate information about before you request a Blackpool asbestos survey, or if you are interested in any of our other services, please contact our team.

What is an asbestos survey?

An asbestos survey is an inspection of a property or building, aimed at locating and identifying any materials at the site that may contain asbestos.

By having an asbestos survey carried out at your premises, you can gather accurate information about the location(s), amount(s), and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) there.

Also included as part of the survey will be an assessment of whether remedial action is needed for such materials. If it is judged that such measures – such as removal or encapsulation – will be needed, you can expect recommendations to be provided in the asbestos report.

Another major reason to arrange an asbestos survey for your Blackpool property, is because the information gleaned through this process will allow for an asbestos register and an asbestos management plan to be put together for the building.

Such steps are legally necessary for non-domestic premises in Great Britain that could contain asbestos, as set out by the “duty to manage” asbestos that forms a fundamental part of CAR 2012.

What types of asbestos survey are available in Blackpool?

We have referred to three types of asbestos survey on this page – and yes, our highly trained and certified asbestos surveyors can provide all of them at properties in the North West.

Here are the key distinctions between these survey types:

An asbestos management survey is designed to help the “dutyholder” under CAR 2012 with their management of ACMs during the normal occupation and use of their premises. It is the least intrusive type of asbestos survey.
An asbestos refurbishment survey is, unlike a management survey, fully intrusive. As its name indicates, this form of survey is necessary for a Blackpool building that may contain asbestos and that is set for refurbishment.
An asbestos demolition survey must be arranged for a property where asbestos may be present if it is intended that demolition work will be undertaken at the site. Included in this type of (again, fully intrusive) survey will be exact information about any work that will be liable to cause disturbance to the fabric of the building.

Again, it is crucial to bear in mind not only the health and safety, but also the legal dimension of having an asbestos survey conducted at your site.

The law makes clear, for instance, that all ACMs must be taken out of a building – as far as reasonably practicable – prior to major refurbishment or demolition occurring there. This helps explain why refurbishment and demolition surveys are especially thorough, entailing destructive inspection and usually, the evacuation of the area being surveyed.

Is it legally necessary to have an asbestos survey undertaken at a Blackpool property?

We have previously written in detail about the question of whether an asbestos survey is a strict legal requirement at a property in the UK.

In summary, though, you should ask yourself the following questions: do you manage a property in or near Blackpool or elsewhere in North West England? And if you do, are you engaged in a process – such as maintenance, refurbishment, or demolition – at the property where there could be a chance of asbestos being disturbed, and human health being imperilled as a result?

If you can respond with a “yes” to the above questions, and you don’t have the essential information that would allow you to reduce or eliminate this risk, you can safely say that yes, an asbestos survey will be a legal requirement at your site.
