Get in touch01 / SERVICES
Every building is different. A useful investigation starts with your plans and a scope of work tailored to them.
Review the building's history and available records, identify suspect materials during a site visit, and define investigation areas for your planned work.
I handle sampling and laboratory analysis for the agreed investigation. The materials, substances and tests included in the assignment are defined in advance.
I assess the investigation results and bring together locations, materials and laboratory findings in a clear final report focused on your project.
Sampling, analysis and the scope of the report are agreed in advance for each project.
THE RIGHT TIME
An investigation is particularly useful before disturbing existing materials or when you want to clarify a specific concern.
Discuss your plansBefore work on floor coverings, wall assemblies, adhesives or other existing materials.
To identify relevant materials so they can be taken into account in subsequent planning.
When you want a focused assessment of potential hazardous materials in a property.
When a particular building component or material raises questions.
02 / WORKING TOGETHER
The investigation is guided by your question. We agree on the individual steps and the required scope together.
You describe the building, your planned work and what you need to investigate.
YOUR QUESTIONAvailable records, accessible areas and relevant materials form the basis of the investigation plan.
INVESTIGATION PLANI take the agreed samples and carry out the appropriate laboratory analysis.
SURVEY & ANALYSISI assess the findings and document the results in the final report to support your next planning steps.
ASSESSMENT & FINAL REPORT03 / EXISTING MATERIALS
These examples illustrate typical investigation questions. A material's appearance alone cannot reliably establish whether it contains hazardous substances.
Asbestos may be present in older building products, including plaster, fillers, tile adhesives, floor coverings and asbestos cement.
Does the material contain asbestos, and which areas are relevant to the planned work?
04 / GOOD TO KNOW
The essential information for getting started.
Appearance alone is not reliable evidence. The building's age and the type of material can provide clues. A professionally planned investigation with appropriate analysis is needed to clarify a material concern.
Useful information includes the year of construction, available plans, details of previous alterations, photographs and a description of the planned work. You can leave unknown details open initially.
The scope depends on the building and the investigation question. In addition to asbestos, PCBs, PAHs or older mineral fibre insulation may be relevant. The tests included in your assignment are agreed in advance.
The work involved depends on factors such as building size, accessibility, the number of samples, the analysis and the documentation required. A meaningful cost estimate can be provided once these points have been clarified.
Please do not disturb or sample suspect materials yourself. Agree the next steps with a competent professional. Photographs and existing documents are a good starting point.
The investigation examines the existing building and documents the agreed findings. Planning and carrying out remediation are separate services and are agreed separately.
