Asbestos surveys are necessary to locate, identify, and assess the risk posed by asbestos in your building. They provide essential information about asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) present in the property and are required before any refurbishment or demolition project can commence.

Survey types can include:

• Management Survey: Suitable for the day-to-day management of a building, this survey is non-intrusive, usually involving visual inspection, sampling, and analysis. The results aim to identify the location, type, and condition of all ACMs present in the building.

• Refurbishment/Demolition Survey: Required when carrying out structural work on a property, this survey is intrusive and involves destructive inspection to access parts of the building that may not typically be visible or accessible. Samples are taken of materials suspected of containing asbestos, which then undergo laboratory testing to confirm or negate their presence.
