Since 1999, Romford Insulations have been surveying properties and producing asbestos registers in accordance with MDHS 100 for some high profile clients such as:

• Knight Frank
• Blockbusters
• Gamestation
• Mansell PLC
• Overbury
• Morgan Lovell

Most recently, we have been appointed to carry out type 1 and type 2 asbestos surveys to Family Mosaic, one of the largest Housing Associations in the UK.

Romford provide a professional asbestos survey service that falls into the following three categories:

• Presumptive Survey (Type 1)
  Location and assessment survey.

  A walk through, visual survey only, useful for estimating. Liability for asbestos removal or for re-evaluating existing data for the purposes of risk assessment.

• Sampling Survey (Type 2)
  Standard sampling, identification and assessment survey.

  A fully intrusive survey that should precede all major building works. A planning supervisor is legally obliged to identify all foreseeable risks, including those related to asbestos. Property owners might also find themselves liable if a survey is not carried out or carried out sufficiently well and workers subsequently suffer exposure to ACM’S.

• Pre-Demolition/Major Refurbishment Survey (Type 3)
  Full access sampling and identification survey.

  The usual basis for the preparation of the ACM register. It typically incorporates two forms of risk assessment.

  1. The material risk assessment, complying with regulation MDHS100. This identifies types, amounts, location and condition of any ACM’s.
  2. The priority risk assessment, complying with regulation HSG 227. This defines a strategy for the effective management of ACM’s, given a number of environmental factors such as building occupation and usage.
