Asbestos Surveys in Lichfield: FAQs
Is asbestos likely in a period Lichfield home?
In its 20th-century alterations, yes — artex, AIB, old floor tiles and cement garages are common in Lichfield's pre-2000 housing. A survey before refurbishment identifies them before they are disturbed.
How quickly can you test a sample from Lichfield?
Standard UKAS-accredited results are usually back within 24 hours, with same-day analysis for urgent jobs. Single samples are typically £50 to £80 and a home survey starts from around £200.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
