Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys

A refurbishment/demolition survey is required when a building is due to be refurbished or demolished. This is a more intrusive survey that is designed to identify all ACMs present within the building, including those that may be hidden or inaccessible.

The survey is required to ensure that all ACMs are identified and removed before any refurbishment or demolition work begins. The survey will involve a thorough inspection of all areas of the building, including hidden areas such as behind walls and under floors. The surveyor may also need to remove samples of suspected ACMs to determine their presence and condition.

Why Do You Need an Asbestos Survey?

If your property was built before 2000, it is likely to contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These materials can be found in a range of building materials, including insulation, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, and cement products.

When these materials become damaged or disturbed, they can release asbestos fibers into the air. These fibers can be inhaled and can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory diseases.

Asbestos surveys are essential to identify any ACMs present in your property and to ensure that they do not pose a risk to occupants or workers. A survey will provide you with valuable information about the type, location, and condition of any ACMs found, and will help you to manage and monitor any identified risks.
