Why it matters here

Older buildings changing hands or changing use, from former schools to commercial blocks, need a designated substance list before contractors are hired. We write it ready to attach to the tender.

Landlords and property managers can add suite turnover checks so units are renovated between tenants without surprises.

We also cover Wallaceburg, Tilbury, Blenheim and Ridgetown.

Questions people ask

How much does asbestos testing cost in Chatham?

A project designated substance survey is $550 for one suite or up to 2,000 sq ft, and $1,300 to $4,800 for commercial work areas. Lab analysis is included, so there's no separate testing charge.

How long do results take?

Lab results come back within 1 week of the site visit. If work can't wait, we leave written interim instructions on site the same day.

Which buildings in Chatham are likely to contain asbestos?

Most buildings built after 1980 are largely free of asbestos; nearly anything older is a candidate. Floor tile and mastic, drywall compound, textured ceilings, pipe insulation and vermiculite are the usual suspects.

Are you independent of abatement contractors?

Yes. We never remove or abate anything and take no referral fees, so our survey results aren't shaped by anyone who profits from removal.
