How Much Is Asbestos Survey In Hampshire?

If you are planning to do any refurbishment or demolition works on your property in Hampshire, you might require an asbestos survey. Asbestos is a harmful mineral that was commonly used in the construction industry until the 1990s. As such, many buildings still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), which can pose a significant risk to human health if disturbed.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we are an asbestos survey company in Hampshire that can help you manage your property's asbestos risks. In this landing page, we'll be discussing everything you need to know about asbestos surveys, including the costs involved in conducting one.

What Is An Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is an inspection of a building's construction materials to determine whether they contain asbestos. If asbestos is present, the survey will identify where it is located and assess its condition. The survey aims to identify any risks associated with asbestos and assess whether the material needs to be removed or managed to prevent exposure to asbestos fibers.

Asbestos surveys are required by law for all non-domestic properties built before the year 2000. Even if your property is domestic, it's still worth getting an asbestos survey, as it can help you identify and manage any ACMs on your property.

Types of Asbestos Surveys

There are two main types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys.

Management Surveys

A management survey is the most common type of asbestos survey, and it's usually the first step in managing asbestos risks in your property. The survey aims to locate, identify and assess the condition of any ACMs that may be present in your building.

During a management survey, the surveyor will take samples of any materials that they suspect might contain asbestos. These samples are then analyzed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory to confirm the presence of asbestos and the type of asbestos present (if any).

Based on the survey's findings, the surveyor will produce a comprehensive report detailing the location and condition of any ACMs on your property. The report will also outline the recommended actions you need to take to manage the asbestos risks, such as labelling ACMs and implementing an asbestos management plan.

Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys

If you're planning any refurbishment or demolition works in your property, you will need a refurbishment/demolition survey. This survey is more intrusive than a management survey and aims to locate and identify all ACMs in an area of the building that will be affected by the works.

A refurbishment/demolition survey is needed to ensure that any ACMs in the area of works are removed before any refurbishment or demolition work commences. This survey can only be carried out when the area is empty and can involve destructive inspection techniques, such as breaking through walls and ceilings to gain access to areas that might contain ACMs.

Based on the survey's findings, the surveyor will produce a report detailing the location, type, and condition of any ACMs in the area of works. The report will also outline a plan of action for safely removing the ACMs before any works commence.

How Much Does An Asbestos Survey Cost in Hampshire?

Asbestos survey costs can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the property and the type of survey required. A management survey is generally cheaper than a refurbishment/demolition survey, as it's less intrusive.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we offer straightforward and cost-effective asbestos surveys to suit your needs. Our prices start from 250 for a management survey and 400 for a refurbishment/demolition survey.

It's important to note that the cost of the survey is only one aspect of managing asbestos risks in your property. You also need to consider the cost of any asbestos removal or management works that need to be carried out based on the survey's findings.
