An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify any potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The survey will involve taking samples of suspect materials and analyzing them to determine if they contain asbestos. The survey will also identify the type and condition of ACMs, their location, and any potential risk to health.

There are two main types of asbestos survey: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys. Management surveys are designed to identify the presence, location, and condition of ACMs that may be disturbed during normal occupancy and routine maintenance. Refurbishment/demolition surveys are more intrusive and are required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out to identify all ACMs in the building.
