Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry before its health risks were identified. Asbestos exposure has been linked to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious respiratory diseases. This is why it is vital to have an asbestos survey conducted on your property, especially if it was built before 2000.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, our asbestos survey service follows the guidelines set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We offer asbestos surveys for different purposes:

1. Management Survey Our management asbestos survey is a non-destructive survey that aims to identify any asbestos-containing materials that could be easily disturbed or damaged during normal occupancy or maintenance of a building, and to assess their condition. This type of survey is essential for property owners and managers who plan to undertake maintenance and repair work or refurbishment.

2. Refurbishment and Demolition Survey A refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey is required before any major refurbishment or demolition work takes place. This type of survey is more invasive and involves destructive inspection and sampling of the building's structure and fabric. The survey aims to identify all asbestos-containing materials that could be damaged or disturbed during the planned work.
