Asbestos Surveys in Norwich

The cathedral city of Norwich has been repeatedly voted one of the best UK places to live, and it’s not hard to see why, with its cultural pedigree (Norwich was England’s first UNESCO City of Literature) and abundance of awe-inspiring period architecture.

It shouldn’t be surprising, then, that Norwich’s population has continued to grow over the years. Our team at Oracle Solutions even opted to open our east-of-England office in Norwich — a strong testament to our fondness for the city.

If, however, your organisation or business has responsibility for a given non-domestic premises in or near Norwich, you may need to ascertain what the asbestos situation is at the given site. This, in turn, will enable you to make informed decisions on how to manage the substance, in ways that are safe and legally compliant.

Are you looking to maintain, refurbish, and/or demolish a property where asbestos could be at risk of disturbance? This fibrous silicate mineral was a component of many materials widely used in building projects for much of the 20th century. However, in late November 1999, it became illegal to buy, sell, import, or export all forms of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the UK.

Any disturbance to asbestos that does occur can cause it to release potentially lethal fibres. These fibres, if inhaled or ingested, heighten the risk of the exposed individual developing any of a range of dangerous lung diseases — such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, or asbestos-related lung cancer.

This potential risk to health, as well as the need to achieve compliance with the UK’s stringent asbestos legislation as set out by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), underscores why asbestos surveys are so crucial in Norwich.

Whatever type of asbestos survey you need in Norwich, we can provide it

Whether the site for which you are responsible is in Norwich or further afield within the county of Norfolk (such as in Aylsham, Hethersett, Mundesley, or Taverham), you need to pay attention to when the building was originally constructed and/or renovated.

If the building dates from before the year 2000, you are effectively legally required to ascertain whether the building contains asbestos — and, if it does, where exactly in the building this asbestos is, as well as the type, extent, and condition of the ACMs.  

On your request, we can visit the site in or near Norwich to complete any of the following types of asbestos survey:

• Asbestos management survey: With this survey, which applies to the normal management and occupation of a given premises, we might detect asbestos-containing materials that can be left in place and effectively managed in adherence to an asbestos management plan.
• Asbestos refurbishment survey: It can be very rewarding to breathe new life into a worn-looking building. However, if you have good reason to suspect that it contains asbestos, you must arrange this survey before refurbishing the building.
• Asbestos demolition survey: This comes into play when a building which may contain asbestos has been earmarked for demolition. Here are further crucial details about our asbestos refurbishment & demolition (R&D) surveys.

After finishing an asbestos survey for you, we will provide you with an asbestos survey report, which will help you decide what step to take next.
