What inspired you to become an Asbestos Survey Advisor?

I’ve generally always had an interest in construction and safety – and Asbestos felt like a great route to go down, knowing how dangerous it can be to health, it gives a great satisfaction being able to play my part and prevent health risks.

Sure! I would have to say it was an old factory, just outside of Birmingham, it had been abandoned for decades. There where so many tight spaces, everything was at a high level and asbestos was hidden everywhere, it took a lot of patience and planning to find all the issues.

The most frustrating thing I tend to hear is “it’s only a little bit of asbestos”, meaning that they don’t need to get it removed. It doesn’t take much to pose a significant risk to your health, small fibres when disturbed are just as dangerous.

I’ve got to say it’s that every job is different. There’s always a new challenge, with a new type of property, it makes every day a constant learning process and keeps me engaged. 

Less of a serious one!

I love the outdoors, I may not look like it but I spend a lot of time walking and exploring nature trails with my family. I also love camping and cooking, although mostly that’s BBQ’ing in the outdoors!
