Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry until the 1990s, due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, exposure to asbestos can cause serious and often fatal diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Asbestos is still present in many older buildings, especially those built before 2000, and it can be released into the air during refurbishment or demolition work.

That is why asbestos surveys are required by law under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. There are two types of surveys:

• Management surveys: to identify ACMs that could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance of a building.
• Refurbishment or demolition surveys: to locate and identify all ACMs before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we offer both types of surveys, depending on the needs and requirements of each client. We also provide detailed reports that include the location, condition, type, and quantity of any ACMs found, as well as recommendations for their safe and legal removal.
