RESIDENTIAL ASBESTOS ASSESSMENTS

We offer a range of asbestos testing services for residential properties. Whether you have a small renovation planned, are buying a property, are planning to demolish your property or you are simply concerned about asbestos in your home, we can help!

FULL Residential Asbestos Assessments

Residential asbestos surveys are undertaken by ACT licensed Asbestos Assessors to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any asbestos containing materials (ACM) in a residential property. Samples are collected from materials that are suspected of containing asbestos and a report is produced outlining the risks associated with any identified ACM and any recommended actions to help ensure a safe home for you and your family.

As well as ensuring safe day-to-day living for your family, asbestos assessments are a legislative requirement prior to  works being carried out which may disturb ACM. As asbestos poses a risk when it is disturbed, it is vital that any ACM present within your property is identified and safely removed by suitably trained and licensed professionals prior to works commencing which could disturb the asbestos material.

FOCUSED MATERIAL ASSESSMENT

Material analysis reports are an affordable way of having up to 2 areas inspected for asbestos. Any suspect ACM in these areas would be sampled and analysed for asbestos content. This service is generally recommended for clients who are looking to renovate one or two areas of a property or are concerned that a particular material within their property may contain asbestos.

General Process for Residential Asbestos Assessments

Once you have booked in your asbestos assessment, an ACT licensed Asbestos Assessor will attend the site to undertake the assessment. Where necessary the assessor will sample materials suspected of containing asbestos. Following sampling, the sample locations are cleaned of any debris and, if required, sealed with paint. Collected samples are analysed at L&D’s National Association of Testing Laboratories (NATA) accredited laboratory.
