Asbestos Management

EPI can survey your property for any Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and can offer you a Type 1,2 or 3 Survey.

If you require  a Type 2 or Type 3 survey the samples are sent away to an accredited testing laboratory for analysis. After any survey you will be provided with a written report incuding photographic documentation on the condition of the areas surveyed and a recommended management programme.

We also have specialist contractors available to safely remove or encapsulate your asbestos, if required.
