Uk Building Compliance

An asbestos survey will check if a building has any 'Asbestos Containing Materials', or ACM. If disturbed or damaged, asbestos is a serious health hazard. Whilst undisturbed, solid ACMs pose little risk, exposure to airborne asbestos fibre kills 4,500 people per year in the UK. Therefore, it is extremely important to carry out an asbestos survey if you think you need one. Before buying, refurbishing or demolishing a building it is important that you carry out an asbestos survey. Formerly known as either a Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 survey, UKBC offers a full range of asbestos surveys, including refurbishment and demolition surveys.

Sound insulation tests - also known as acoustic insulation testing - measure how much noise will travel through a building's fabric. If you're undertaking a new development, you'll need to make sure there isn't too much noise travelling through the walls, floors or ceilings of the building. Sound insulation tests comprise two stages. Both of these processes help to effectively determine the level of sound insulation in a property. These processes include airborne tests and impact sound transmission tests.
