Introduction

Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire is a specialist asbestos testing company in Hampshire, providing professional and affordable asbestos surveys for all types of buildings.

Why You Need an Asbestos Survey

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials in the UK until it was banned in 1999. Many properties, especially those built before the 1990s, may contain asbestos, which can be found in various building materials, including roofing sheets, insulation, boiler pipes, and ceiling tiles.

Asbestos fibers are extremely hazardous and can cause serious health problems if inhaled, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Therefore, it is vitally important to identify and remove any asbestos-containing materials before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out.

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a property to identify any asbestos-containing materials, their condition, and the risk they pose. There are two types of asbestos surveys: a management survey and a refurbishment and demolition survey.

Types of Asbestos Surveys

Management Survey

A management survey is the standard survey used to identify asbestos-containing materials in a building. It is usually conducted on buildings that are in regular use and where the asbestos-containing materials are not disturbed. The survey will involve a visual inspection of the building and taking small samples of suspected materials for analysis in a laboratory.

The purpose of the management survey is to identify any asbestos-containing materials within the property and assess their condition. The survey will provide a report detailing the location, type, and condition of any asbestos-containing materials found, and recommendations for their management or removal.

Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

A refurbishment and demolition survey is more intrusive and is conducted prior to any refurbishment or demolition work. This type of survey is required when the building is being refurbished, altered, or demolished, or if the asbestos-containing materials are likely to be disturbed.

The survey involves a complete inspection of the building, including inaccessible areas, and taking larger samples of suspected materials for analysis in a laboratory. The purpose of the survey is to identify all asbestos-containing materials within the property and assess their condition. The report will provide recommendations for the safe removal of any asbestos-containing materials found.
