Vintec works closely with housing authorities to evaluate and maintain housing stock and quickly turnaround void properties – using our state-of-the-art in-house laboratory we provide rapid results, getting you the data you need quickly, and keeping you fully compliant.
Our team are known for their levels of professionalism and consideration for the potential impact on tenants. Our Surveyors understand how disruptive asbestos management can be, and work hard to engage with residents to address their concerns and put their minds at ease.
When it comes to asbestos testing and surveys, Housing Authorities have standards to maintain in major refurbishment programmes. Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) may be present in many locations within domestic premises – some of the most common include airing cupboards, bath panels and heating systems. Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM), clients have to comply with specific asbestos duties that cannot be transferred or delegated to a managing agent or principal contractor.
Our services are UKAS accredited which ensures conformity to ISO/IEC17020:2012.
Vintec can advise you on the best way to manage the Asbestos Testing on your properties and deliver a wide range of Testing and Survey work to ensure your tenants are safe from asbestos.
