Asbestos Surveys in Kent

PVES are employed to give crucial and accurate asbestos surveys in Kent and the surrounding counties. Our team specialises in providing a range of comprehensive asbestos services to suit a variety of commercial property types. We offer tailored asbestos surveys, audits, and training to suit your specific needs. Managing the asbestos in your property is legally required to ensure the safety and compliance of your business. Whoever is responsible for the maintenance of a commercial building must nominate a duty holder. This duty holder is then responsible for ensuring all compliance and safety is delivered.

There are many historical towns in Kent, from the Medway Towns of Rochester, Gillingham and Broadstairs, to Canterbury, Maidstone, Ashford and then down to Dover and Folkestone. And with history comes very old buildings, renovated buildings and properties that will have had asbestos used within them.

It is important to note that property owners or maintenance authority bear a legal obligation to guarantee the safety of any asbestos present in their properties.

Benefits of Having Professional Asbestos Surveys

Having professional asbestos surveys gives you the peace of mind that your commercial building is safe and fit for purpose. Our team of skilled personnel will provide an thorough, accurate and reliable assessment of your property.

The health and safety of the occupants of your property is our top priority. By identifying the asbestos risk, we can work with you in determining the necessary steps to manage risk going forward.

Asbestos Surveys

Asbestos surveys aim to identify and assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within your property. Our asbestos risk consultants can conduct surveys tailored to your specific needs and those of your property.

To offer a comprehensive service, we conduct both Management Surveys and Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys, as defined by HSE requirements (Paper HSG264). To ensure all asbestos surveys are conducted effectively, our services are specifically tailored to each location. In some cases, both survey types are necessary, due to changes in building function or refurbishment requirements.

The Management Survey is the standard asbestos survey, and the most commonly employed of the two. It seeks to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) which pose a threat to health. However, if any refurbishment or alterations to the building structure are planned, the Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is legally required. This survey specifically addresses potential risks associated with disturbing the fabric of the premises during refurbishment or demolition work (HSG264, sect.50).

PVES offer independent, autonomous site audits to our clients across the UK and are conducted on asbestos removal contractors when remedial works are being carried out. They are typically provided as part of our project management service.
