An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property designed to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and assess their condition. The survey can determine the type, location, and extent of the asbestos in the building, as well as provide guidance on the best way to manage or remove it.

There are two types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys.

• Management surveys: This survey is designed to locate any asbestos-containing materials that could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance of a property, and assess their condition. The survey can help identify potential risks and provide recommendations for how to manage the asbestos safely.
• Refurbishment/demolition surveys: This survey is more intrusive and is designed to locate all ACMs in the property, including those that may be hidden within the building structure. The survey is necessary prior to any refurbishment or demolition work and provides recommendations for the safe removal of the asbestos.
