How Much Does A Commercial Asbestos Survey Cost In Devon?

Asbestos has been widely used as a building material in the UK until its harmful effects were discovered. Since then, asbestos has been banned and is no longer used in the construction of buildings. However, as many buildings constructed before the ban still contain asbestos, it is important to have a commercial asbestos survey carried out if you plan to refurbish or demolish a building in Devon.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we provide asbestos surveys for commercial properties in Devon, and we understand that one of the most important factors for our clients is the cost of the survey.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was mined and used widely in the UK construction industry until the mid-1980s. It is a very strong and durable material that was used for insulation, fireproofing, and soundproofing. Asbestos is made up of tiny fibres that, when inhaled, can cause serious respiratory health problems such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Because of its hazardous properties, asbestos has been banned and is no longer used in the construction of buildings. However, many buildings constructed before the ban, particularly those built between the 1950s and 1980s, still contain asbestos. Asbestos materials can be found in a variety of places within a building, such as in insulation, pipes, boilers, ceilings, walls, and flooring.

What is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property to identify any asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos surveys are essential for any building that is due to be refurbished or demolished to ensure that any asbestos materials are identified and dealt with safely. An asbestos survey can also be useful for property owners who are planning to carry out maintenance work or alterations to their property.

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

Management Asbestos Survey

A management asbestos survey is a standard survey that is required for all non-domestic properties that were built prior to the year 2000. The purpose of this survey is to identify any asbestos-containing materials that may be present in a building and to assess their condition.

A management asbestos survey involves a thorough inspection of the building, including all accessible areas such as ceilings, walls, floors, roof voids, and service ducts. Samples of suspected asbestos-containing materials may be taken and sent for analysis to a UKAS accredited laboratory.

Once the survey has been carried out, a written report will be produced that includes a detailed description of any asbestos materials found, their condition, and recommended actions to manage the risks associated with them.

Refurbishment/Demolition Asbestos Survey

A refurbishment/demolition asbestos survey is a more intrusive survey that is required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out on a building. Its purpose is to identify any asbestos-containing materials that may need to be removed prior to the works taking place.

This type of survey involves a more detailed inspection of all areas of the building, including areas that may be difficult to access. Samples of suspected asbestos-containing materials will be taken and sent for analysis to a UKAS accredited laboratory.

Once the survey has been carried out, a written report will be produced that includes a detailed description of any asbestos materials found, their condition, and recommended actions to manage the risks associated with them. If any asbestos materials are identified that need to be removed prior to the works taking place, we can provide a quotation for their safe removal and disposal.

What Could Affect the Cost of A Commercial Asbestos Survey in Devon?

There are several factors that could affect the cost of a commercial asbestos survey in Devon. These include:

• The size of the building: Larger buildings may require more time to survey and may therefore be more expensive.
• The type of survey required: A refurbishment/demolition survey is more intrusive and may be more expensive than a management survey.
• The age of the building: Older buildings may have more asbestos-containing materials and may therefore be more expensive to survey.
• The number of samples required: If multiple samples need to be taken and analysed, this may increase the cost of the survey.
• The location of the property: If the property is located in a remote area, this may increase the cost of the survey due to travel expenses.
