Refurbishment/Demolition Survey

This type of survey is required when a property is being renovated, demolished, or refurbished. It is a more intrusive and comprehensive survey that aims to locate and assess all ACMs present in the parts of the building that are due to be altered or demolished. It is intended to provide information for the refurbishment/demolition plan, including the location, condition, and type of any ACMs that may be disturbed during the works.

Asbestos Sampling: What Is It and How Is It Done?

Asbestos sampling is the process of collecting representative samples of suspect materials for laboratory analysis. It is an essential part of asbestos testing and surveying, as it provides the evidence needed to confirm or refute the presence of asbestos fibres.

Sampling should only be carried out by a competent and qualified person, who has the necessary training, experience, and equipment to do it safely and effectively. The person should wear personal protective equipment, such as a disposable coverall, gloves, and a mask, to prevent exposure to the fibres during the sampling process.

The sampling process involves the following steps:

1. Selecting the materials to be sampled based on their appearance, location, and condition.
2. Dampening the materials with a fine water mist to prevent the release of airborne fibres.
3. Using a sharp tool, such as a corer or scalpel, to cut a small sample of the material.
4. Placing the sample in a sealed plastic bag and labelling it with a unique identifier and its location.
5. Repeating the process for each material to be sampled.
6. Packing the samples securely and sending them to an accredited laboratory for analysis.

The laboratory will analyse the samples using one of the three techniques mentioned above and provide a report of the results.
