What is an asbestos survey, and why do you need one? An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a building to identify ACMs and assess their condition, location, and risk. The purpose of the survey is to protect people's health and prevent exposure to asbestos fibers.

There are two types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys. A management survey is the standard survey that is required under current asbestos regulations. It involves a visual inspection of the building, sampling of suspected ACMs, and analysis of the samples in a UKAS-accredited laboratory. The survey report includes a detailed asbestos register, which lists all identified ACMs, their condition, and any recommended actions.

A refurbishment/demolition survey is more extensive and intrusive as it aims to locate all ACMs that may be disturbed during the planned works. This survey is required by law before any refurbishment or demolition works are carried out. The survey report includes an asbestos demolition/refurbishment plan, which outlines how the ACMs will be safely removed or encapsulated.
