An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and assess the risk they pose to occupants and workers. The survey comprises the following types:

• Management survey: This is a standard survey that aims to locate and assess the condition of ACMs that are likely to be disturbed during regular occupancy and maintenance of the building. The survey will provide a record of the location, type, and condition of asbestos, and a risk assessment to guide management decisions on how to manage or remove the asbestos-containing materials.

• Refurbishment and demolition survey: This survey is more intrusive and aims to identify all ACMs in the areas of the building that will be affected by refurbishment or demolition work. The survey will involve destructive testing to access all areas, and the resulting report will provide details on the condition, location, and type of asbestos, and recommendations on how to manage or remove them before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place.
