Before we dive into the specifics of our asbestos survey service, let's take a look at what an asbestos survey actually entails. Essentially, an asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your property to determine whether or not asbestos is present. The survey will identify the type, location, and condition of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your building, as well as assess the risk of exposure and the potential danger to occupants.

There are two types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys. A management survey is a simpler and less invasive inspection that's designed to identify any ACMs that could be damaged, disturbed or easily accessed during normal occupancy. A refurbishment/demolition survey is a more complex inspection that's required when you're planning to carry out refurbishment or demolition work on the building, as this may involve disturbing hidden asbestos.
