An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a building or structure to locate any potentially hazardous materials containing asbestos. The survey is necessary to determine the presence, location, type, and condition of any materials containing asbestos. There are two types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys.

• Management surveys: These surveys are similar to regular building inspections and are suitable for identifying the presence and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in buildings' everyday use. The surveyors will take samples of suspected ACMs to confirm their presence and location. This type of survey is useful for property owners who want to manage asbestos risk in their buildings.

• Refurbishment/demolition surveys: Refurbishment/demolition surveys are more intrusive and comprehensive than management surveys. These surveys are necessary before major refurbishment or demolition works to identify and manage asbestos risk. The surveyors will take samples of suspected ACMs that may be disturbed during the planned works.
