FAQ on Agricultural and Farm Asbestos
We have had a few calls from Farmers wanting to start the process of complying with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006. A few questions have been common:
- How much will it cost? Like everything the answer is: It depends. However the first visit by one of our surveyors is free and is generally done within a few days of your call. After checking over the site a quote for the Asbestos Survey, and preparation of the Asbestos Registry and Management Plan will be provided.
- How long will the process take? As stated above the first free visit will happen within a few days. Then when we have agreement on the price the survey/inspection can be arranged. This will take anything from one to four days to complete and then another week or so to document for approval. When approved it will be bound and two copies are provided for you to keep. This whole process can therefore take as little as two or three weeks from first call to completion.
- Do I have to sign up for a continual inspection plan? In some cases this is a good idea, especially if the ACMs are in poor condition or if substantial work is envisaged. However it is NEVER required by us.
- Can you do a general chat for a few of us? We are happy to address agricultural groups and explain the process and take any questions you may have. There is normally no charge for this
