1. Management Asbestos Survey

A Management Asbestos Survey is the most common type of survey and is required for the ongoing management of asbestos in a building. This survey is designed to locate and assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during normal occupancy, maintenance, or minor renovations.

Best for:

• Business owners managing commercial properties

• Homeowners looking to buy or sell a property

• Landlords needing to comply with health and safety regulations

• Routine building maintenance and risk management

A Management Asbestos Survey is non-intrusive, meaning minimal disruption to the property. It helps property owners comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, ensuring the safety of occupants and workers.

2. Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

A Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is a more intrusive survey required before any major renovation, refurbishment, or demolition work takes place. This type of survey is necessary because construction work can disturb hidden asbestos materials, releasing harmful fibres into the air.

Best for:

• Homeowners planning structural renovations
• Business owners refurbishing commercial buildings
• Developers and contractors involved in demolition projects

Unlike a Management Survey, this survey involves destructive inspection methods to access hidden asbestos materials, ensuring all potential asbestos risks are identified before work begins. As such, it is more disruptive but is essential for legal compliance and safety.

Which Asbestos Survey Do You Need?

Choosing the right asbestos survey depends on your situation:

• If you are managing a property and need to ensure asbestos safety for everyday use, a Management Asbestos Survey is the right choice.
• If you are planning major renovations or demolitions, a Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is required before any work starts.

Why an Asbestos Survey is Essential

Failing to identify asbestos risks can lead to serious health hazards, including exposure to harmful asbestos fibres that can cause lung diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. Additionally, non-compliance with asbestos regulations can result in legal and financial penalties.

By choosing the correct asbestos survey, you protect the health of occupants, workers, and yourself while ensuring your property meets legal safety standards.
