Supernova Asbestos Surveys asbestos checks are essential for maintaining a safe environment, as they identify and assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within a property. Given the significant health risks associated with asbestos exposure, thorough testing is a critical step in any responsible property management plan. Inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to severe and potentially fatal conditions, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and various forms of cancer, making professional asbestos testing vital to safeguarding the health and well-being of occupants.
Asbestos checks are regulated under the control of the Asbestos Regulations 2012, which legally require property owners, managers, and employers to identify and manage ACMs in their buildings to avoid legal penalties. By prioritising asbestos testing, individuals can make informed decisions about long-term asbestos management, potential removal, and overall property maintenance, ultimately safeguarding their investment and the safety of those on-site.
Supernova Asbestos Surveys offers a range of specialised surveys tailored to various property needs. The management survey is designed for routine maintenance and prior to minor intrusive works, helping to identify any potential risks without significant disruption. For more invasive projects, such as structural changes or redevelopment, the refurbishment and demolition survey provides a comprehensive inspection, locating ACMs hidden behind walls, under floors, or within structural components. Additionally, the reinspection survey is used for follow-up assessments, ensuring that previously identified ACMs remain in stable condition and that legal compliance is maintained over time.
New property owners or real estate investors seeking to buy a new property can rely on the company for a pre-purchase survey to understand the extent of asbestos present, particularly in older, more traditional buildings. A sampling survey, on the other hand, focuses on collecting samples from specific areas within a building to test for the presence of asbestos. While less comprehensive than a full management or refurbishment and demolition survey, it serves as a valuable tool for targeted asbestos identification in isolated locations or during minor works.
Regardless of the type of asbestos check, Supernova Asbestos Surveys conducts an initial survey to identify the specific areas and materials that require testing. From there, experienced and trained professionals collect samples of suspected materials without releasing the fibres into the air, then send the samples to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Once the lab identifies the type and concentration of asbestos fibres present, it provides a detailed report of the findings, including recommendations for managing or removing the ACMs.
Beyond a Supernova Asbestos Surveys asbestos check, the company offers fire risk assessments for businesses, homes, public buildings, construction sites, and charitable organisations, as outlined by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
