What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials between the 1950s and 1980s. It was prized for its fire resistance, strength, and durability, and was commonly used in ceiling tiles, insulation, cement, pipes, and other building materials.

However, when asbestos fibers are disturbed or damaged, they can become airborne and pose a serious risk to human health when inhaled. Asbestos exposure can lead to long-term lung damage and diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.

Due to the known health risks associated with asbestos, its use was banned in the UK in 1999. However, many older buildings still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), and it is important to identify and manage them properly to prevent exposure and ensure the safety of occupants and workers.

What Is An Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property to identify the presence, type, location, condition, and extent of any ACMs. It is a legal requirement for anyone who owns, manages, or controls non-domestic premises (such as offices, schools, hospitals, and shops) to carry out an asbestos survey and keep a record of the findings.

Even if you own a domestic property, it is still wise to perform an asbestos survey if your building was constructed before 2000, as it may contain ACMs that could pose a health risk if disturbed or damaged during maintenance, repair, or renovation works.

There are two types of asbestos survey:

Management Asbestos Survey

A management survey is the most common type of survey and is designed to locate ACMs that could be disturbed or damaged in the normal course of occupancy or maintenance. It involves a visual inspection of the accessible areas of the property and may include sampling and analysis of suspected ACMs.

The purpose of a management survey is to assess the condition of the ACMs, estimate their risk to health, and provide recommendations on how to manage them safely.

Refurbishment/Demolition Asbestos Survey

A refurbishment/demolition survey is more invasive and is required before any demolition, major refurbishment or structural alteration takes place. It involves a comprehensive inspection of all areas of the building, including hidden areas such as wall cavities and service ducts.

The purpose of a refurbishment/demolition survey is to locate all ACMs and identify any additional risks of asbestos exposure during the planned works. This information is used to develop a detailed asbestos management plan and ensure safe removal or management of the ACMs before work begins.

How Much Does An Asbestos Survey Cost in Hampshire?

The cost of an asbestos survey in Hampshire can vary depending on several factors, such as the size and type of property, the presence and condition of suspected ACMs, the number of samples required, and the type of survey needed (management or refurbishment/demolition).

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we offer competitive pricing for our asbestos survey services, with prices starting at 150 for a management survey and 300 for a refurbishment/demolition survey.
