We provide a huge range of Asbestos Testing services for commercial firms. Whether you’re a local builder looking for Asbestos Testing on a new project or a large company looking for more regular services, Vintec can deliver exactly what you need.
If you are responsible for the maintenance of non-domestic premises, you have a ‘duty to manage‘ the asbestos in them, to protect anyone using or working in the premises from the risks to health that exposure to asbestos causes.
If you are the owner of non-domestic premises or the person or organisation that has clear responsibility for the maintenance or repair of non-domestic premises, you are known as the ‘dutyholder‘, and it is your legal responsibility to identify the location and condition of asbestos in non-domestic properties, and to manage the risk to prevent harm to anyone who works in, or is an occupant of the building.
UKAS accredited, CHAS accredited and members of Constructionline, we are fully qualified to ensure your health and safety audit is 100% compliant.
Below highlights some of the more common areas you might find asbestos in a typical property. Our trained Surveyors can spot and Test any areas of suspected asbestos, with quick turnaround times.
Please do get in contact with any queries, or for more information.
