What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a mineral that was commonly used in construction materials before the 2000s. It was valued for its fire resistance, durability, and insulation properties. Asbestos was used in a wide range of building materials, including:

• Ceiling tiles
• Insulation
• Roofing materials
• Floor tiles
• Pipes
• Textured coatings

When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, they release tiny asbestos fibers into the air. Inhaling these fibers can lead to serious health problems, so its vital to have any suspected asbestos-containing materials tested.

What Is An Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos surveys should only be conducted by trained and licensed asbestos surveyors. There are two main types of asbestos surveys:

1. Management Survey

A management survey is the standard survey that is carried out to identify any asbestos-containing materials that may be present in a building. This survey is required for all non-domestic properties and communal areas of domestic properties built before 2000. The survey is designed to identify any ACMs that are likely to be disturbed during normal occupancy.

2. Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

A refurbishment and demolition survey is more intrusive than a management survey and involves destructive inspection techniques to access areas that may contain hidden asbestos. This survey is required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out on a building that was built before 2000.
