As per UK health and safety regulations, all non-domestic buildings constructed before 2000 must have an asbestos survey. A survey is a thorough inspection of the building to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), their location, condition, and type. There are two types of surveys: management survey and refurbishment/demolition survey.

A management survey is the standard survey that is required for most non-domestic properties. It is a non-intrusive survey that aims to locate any ACMs that are present, assess their condition, and record them in a register. The register is then used as a basis for long-term asbestos management, including periodic re-inspections and monitoring of the ACMs' condition.

A refurbishment/demolition survey is carried out before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place. This survey is intrusive and involves breaking through walls, ceilings, and floors to access areas that may contain ACMs. The survey aims to identify any ACMs that may be disturbed during the refurbishment or demolition work and recommend appropriate control measures.
