What Is an Asbestos Management Survey?
An asbestos management survey is designed to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a building.
This type of survey is required to help duty holders manage asbestos risks during normal occupancy and routine maintenance.
The survey will:
- Identify suspected asbestos materials
- Assess their condition
- Evaluate the risk of fibre release
- Provide recommendations for ongoing management
If asbestos is in good condition and undisturbed, it can often be safely managed in place.
Who Needs an Asbestos Management Survey?
You may require a management survey if you are responsible for a non-domestic property built before 2000.
This includes:
- Commercial buildings
- Offices and retail units
- Schools and public buildings

- Rental properties and communal areas
Under UK law, duty holders must manage asbestos risks in these properties.

Types of Asbestos Surveys We Offer
Asbestos Management Surveys
An Asbestos Management Survey ensures that asbestos materials present in your building remain safe and undisturbed during normal use. It’s a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties built before 2000.
Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys (R&D Surveys)
If you’re planning any building, demolition, or renovation works, an R&D Survey is mandatory before starting. It identifies asbestos that could be disturbed during works, ensuring all materials are safely managed or removed.
Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys
Buying a property built before 2000? Our Pre-Purchase Asbestos Surveys help buyers make informed decisions by identifying hidden asbestos issues before completion.
