What is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a detailed inspection designed to locate asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within a property. These materials were commonly used in construction before 1999 and can be found in insulation, ceiling tiles, pipework, and even floor coverings.

Our asbestos surveys identify:

  • The presence and condition of asbestos
  • The type of asbestos present
  • The risk level and required management or removal actions

Our goal is to help you remain compliant, safe, and informed before any work begins.

Who Needs an Asbestos Survey?

You need an asbestos survey if you are:

  • A property owner or landlord managing residential or commercial buildings.
  • A builder, contractor, or developer working on refurbishment or demolition projects.
  • A facilities manager responsible for maintenance in public or commercial properties.
  • A homebuyer purchasing a property built before 2000.

Failure to carry out an asbestos survey can lead to legal penalties and, more importantly, serious health risks for occupants and contractors.

Why Asbestos Surveys Are Essential

  • Legal Compliance: It’s a legal duty under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to identify and manage asbestos in non-domestic premises.
  • Health & Safety: Asbestos exposure is a leading cause of fatal diseases such as mesothelioma and asbestosis.
  • Cost Control: Early identification prevents delays, extra costs, and contamination during building works.

Asbestos Survey for Building Projects

If you’re planning a building project, especially one involving a property built before 2000, an asbestos survey is essential. Properties of this age often contain asbestos in their construction materials. A comprehensive asbestos survey is required before any refurbishment, structural alterations, or demolition to comply with Regulation 5 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Our expert surveyors will assess your property, identifying any asbestos-containing materials, their condition, and their location. We provide detailed recommendations on how to safely handle and manage the asbestos removal process if required.
