Are you planning a refurbishment or demolition project on your property? Or are you simply concerned about the potential presence of asbestos in your building? Whatever your situation, an asbestos survey should be your first step. An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of your building that assesses the presence, location, condition, and type of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The survey results will determine whether the ACMs pose a risk to human health and require management, removal, or encapsulation.

An asbestos survey is required by law under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for all non-domestic premises, including commercial, industrial, and public buildings. Even if your property was built after 2000, it may still contain asbestos materials, as the use of asbestos was only fully banned in the UK in 1999. Therefore, an asbestos survey is essential for any property owner or manager who wants to comply with the law, protect their employees, customers, and visitors, and avoid potential legal and financial penalties.
