An asbestos survey is a crucial step in identifying asbestos-containing materials in your property, whether you're planning a refurbishment or demolition project. Asbestos surveys are necessary because it's illegal to remove asbestos-containing materials without proper management and control measures in place.

Asbestos surveys aim to identify the type, location, and condition of asbestos-containing materials in your building. This information is vital in developing an asbestos management plan to prevent the risk of exposure to asbestos fibers.

Asbestos management plans include procedures for the regular inspection, monitoring, and maintenance of asbestos-containing materials. They also involve strategies for safe removal, disposal, and remediation of asbestos-containing materials if necessary.

Refurbishment and demolition projects also require an asbestos survey to determine the potential presence of asbestos-containing materials. Proper management and control measures must be in place before any demolition or refurbishment project to prevent the release of asbestos fibers and its harmful effects on workers and the environment.
