Asbestos surveys are essential for anyone planning to refurbish or demolish a building built before 2000. According to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone responsible for maintaining or repairing a non-domestic building has a legal duty to manage asbestos if it's present in the building. An asbestos survey helps identify the location, type, and condition of any ACMs within the building, enabling the duty holder to take the necessary measures to prevent asbestos exposure.

There are two types of asbestos surveys:

• Management Survey: A management survey is the standard survey required for all non-domestic buildings built before 2000. It involves a visual inspection of the building to identify any ACMs that are likely to be disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance activities.

• Refurbishment/Demolition Survey: A refurbishment/demolition survey is necessary before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place. It's a more invasive survey that involves destructive inspection to identify any hidden ACMs that could be disturbed during the work.
