Homebuyer & Home Seller Asbestos Surveys in Norwich and Norfolk
If a Home Survey, Building Survey or buyer's survey on a property in Norwich or elsewhere in Norfolk has identified a material that may contain asbestos, send us the relevant extract and a senior consultant will advise what asbestos investigation, if any, is appropriate.
Property surveys in Norfolk and suspected asbestos
Norfolk property ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Norwich to post-war suburban housing, coastal properties and rural homes with garages, outbuildings and cement roof sheeting. Suspected asbestos in these properties is most often raised as textured ceiling coatings, cement products, soffits and fascias, or floor tiles and their bitumen adhesive.
A Home Survey, Building Survey or valuation is a general property inspection — it may record a material as possibly containing asbestos, but it does not identify asbestos. Laboratory analysis of a representative sample, by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory, is what establishes whether asbestos is present.
Areas covered: Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Thetford, Dereham, Wymondham, North Walsham, Cromer, Attleborough, Diss.
