An asbestos survey can help determine if your property contains asbestos and what type of asbestos it is. This information is crucial for managing the material and avoiding the health risks associated with asbestos. An asbestos survey is also a legal requirement under the Asbestos Survey Management Regulations 2012 for any property built or refurbished before 2000.

There are three types of asbestos survey you can request, depending on the type and condition of your building:

1. Asbestos Management Survey
2. Refurbishment Asbestos Survey
3. Demolition Asbestos Survey

An Asbestos Management Survey is required to locate the presence and extent of asbestos-containing products remaining in a building. This type of survey is appropriate for properties in good condition that are still being used. The surveyor will take samples of suspected asbestos-containing materials to identify and assess their condition.

A Refurbishment Asbestos Survey is required before any refurbishment work is undertaken. This type of survey is similar to the asbestos management survey, but may be more invasive, as the surveyor may need to take more samples to determine the type of asbestos present.

A Demolition Asbestos Survey is the most extensive asbestos survey, and it is required if you plan to demolish a building. This survey must locate all asbestos present in the building or any parts of the building that are going to be demolished.
