specialist surveys - asbestos

As a member of the British Wood Preserving and Damp Proofing Association, it is a requirement that a percentage of a company’s surveyors attain to the status of Certificated Surveyor for Remedial Treatment (C.S.R.T). This involves examinations in Damp Proofing, Timber Preservation and Health and Safety. The successful surveyors are then entitled to display the C.S.R.T. initials after their name.

The company has been heavily involved with the installation of remedial wall ties. Particularly with local authority developments. Our surveyors are certificated by ANCON for survey and installation of these ties. Surveys can involve bore scope investigation, pull testing, masonry and original tie sampling.

Our most recent addition to the survey side of the company is survey and bulk sampling of Asbestos. (Asbestos Containing Materials) ACM’s surveyors successfully completed exams run by (British Occupational Hygiene Society) B.O.H.S in January 2005. Our surveys and reports allow people who are responsible for asbestos awareness, wherever it be, in a company of home owner to form a register of ACM’s and make the decision to manage or remove this material.
