Asbestos Surveys

An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of your property for asbestos-containing materials. This survey is conducted in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and is designed to identify any materials that could release asbestos fibers when they are damaged or disturbed. There are two main types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys.

Management Surveys

A management survey is the most commonly used asbestos survey. It is intended to identify the presence and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that are likely to be disturbed during normal occupancy of a building. The survey will identify the location, type, and condition of any ACMs so that they can be managed appropriately to prevent exposure to asbestos fibers.

Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys

A refurbishment/demolition survey is required when a building is going to be refurbished or demolished. The survey is more intrusive than a management survey and involves sampling and analysis of suspected ACMs. The survey will identify the location, type, and condition of any ACMs that will be disturbed during the refurbishment or demolition process. This information will be used to plan the safe removal of the ACMs before work begins.

Asbestos Survey Cost

The cost of an asbestos survey in Devon depends on several factors, including the size of the property, the type of survey required, and the location of the property.

Do I Need an Asbestos Survey?

If you own or manage a property that was built before the year 2000, it is likely that asbestos was used in the construction materials. Asbestos can be found in many parts of a building, including insulation, flooring, tiles, and ceiling tiles. It is important to have an asbestos survey conducted to determine the presence, location, condition, and extent of any asbestos-containing materials in your property.

If you are planning any refurbishment or demolition work, you are legally required to have a refurbishment/demolition survey conducted to identify any ACMs that may be disturbed during the work. Failure to do so could result in legal action and fines.

Even if you are not planning any work, it is recommended that you have a management survey conducted to identify any ACMs in your property and manage them safely to prevent the risk of exposure.

Asbestos Survey Requirements

The requirements for an asbestos survey depend on the type of survey required and the circumstances of the property. Here are some key factors that can impact the asbestos survey requirements:

Size of the Property

The size of the property will impact the cost and duration of the survey. Larger properties require more time and resources to survey, which can increase the cost of the survey.

Refurbishment/Demolition Asbestos Survey

If a property is undergoing refurbishment or demolition, a refurbishment/demolition survey is required. This survey is necessary to identify any ACMs that will be disturbed during the work and ensure they are removed safely.

Site or Warehouse Asbestos Survey

If the property is a site or warehouse, a management survey is required to identify any ACMs that may be present. This survey will ensure that the ACMs are managed safely to prevent the risk of exposure to asbestos fibers.

Property Likely to Remain

If the property is likely to remain in its current state, a management survey is required to identify any ACMs that may be present. This survey will ensure that the ACMs are managed safely to prevent the risk of exposure to asbestos fibers.

Asbestos Survey Materials

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are commonly found in many parts of buildings, including insulation, flooring, walls, and ceilings. They can also be found in roofing materials, pipes, and ductwork. If you suspect that your property contains ACMs, it is important to have a survey conducted to identify their location and condition.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we have the knowledge and expertise to identify a wide range of ACMs, including:

• Asbestos insulation board (AIB)
• Asbestos cement (AC)

• Asbestos textile products
