Before undertaking any construction or renovation project, it is essential to conduct an asbestos survey. In general, there are three types of surveys: management surveys, refurbishment surveys, and demolition surveys.

Management surveys are used to identify and manage the presence of asbestos in a building. These surveys are necessary for any non-domestic building that was built before 2000. The goal of a management survey is to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a building to ensure they are properly managed and maintained.

Refurbishment surveys are required before any refurbishment or alteration work can be carried out on a building built before 2000. This survey is intended to locate and identify any ACMs that may be disturbed during the refurbishment process.

Demolition surveys are required prior to the complete demolition of a building. This survey is intended to identify and locate any ACMs that may be present in a building to ensure proper removal and disposal during the demolition process.

It is important to note that these surveys must be carried out by a licensed asbestos professional to ensure accurate and reliable results. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, our team of licensed and experienced asbestos surveyors can help you identify and manage any ACMs in your building.
