Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used in the construction of buildings as an insulator and fire-resistant material. It was also used in plumbing and electrical installations, floor tiles, and roofing materials.

Inhaling asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These diseases can take years to develop, so it is important to take precautions before carrying out any work on your property.

There are two main types of asbestos survey: Management Survey and Refurbishment and Demolition Survey.

Management Survey: This survey is designed to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that may be present in your building. This type of survey is non-intrusive, and a sample of each suspected material is taken for testing.

Refurbishment and Demolition Survey: This type of survey is more intrusive and is carried out if you are planning to renovate or demolish the building. Samples are taken from all materials that may be disturbed during the planned work.
