Terence Wright Asbestos

Independent Asbestos Surveyors

Who we are

Terence Wright asbestos are independent asbestos surveyors serving clients throughout the UK with all aspects of asbestos surveying, management and training.

Based in the South West of England, we offer a rapid and professional service not only to that areas but throughout the UK, either directly or with our partners.

Because we do not carry out removals, we would never recommend unnecessary and expensive work. This means you can manage the risks effectively without paying for removal that is not needed.

What we do

Management survey - standard sampling, identification and assessment

A management survey is used for determining the location, quantity and type of asbestos you may come across in the premises.

This is an intrusive survey whereby the surveyor will take a number of small samples for later analysis at a laboratory and will produce a full report about the results. Working with the client, the surveyor will also assist in the completion of a risk assessment which highlights any areas of concern.

This type of survey is most common and is not recommended for untrained personnel.

Full access survey (pre-demolition or major refurbishments)

A full destructive survey only required before demolition or major refurbishment works. This may be used to form the basis of a tender for the removal of asbestos containing materials.

Recommendation for repair or removal only if required.

The legislation

The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2012, which superseded the CAWR 2012. It contains an Approved Code of Practice (ACOP), which give advice on the preferred means of compliance with the regulation. It is meant as an executive summary and by no means exhaustive. Full details are available in the HSE document "Control of Asbestos at Regulations 2012" on the HSE website.

This advice has special legal status - if you are prosecuted for a breach of health and safety law and it is proved that you did not follow the relevant provisions of an ACOP, you will need to show that you have complied with the law in some other way or a court will find you at fault.
