#What Does An Asbestos Survey Involve In Hampshire

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in buildings up until the late 1990s. It was commonly used in construction due to its heat resistance and insulation properties. Asbestos has been linked to several deadly diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer, which is why it is crucial to ensure that buildings are free from it.

If you are a property owner or manager in Hampshire or the South East of England, it is essential to have your building surveyed for asbestos. This is where Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire comes in.

##What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction up until the 1990s. There are several types of asbestos, but the three most common are chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite. These are known as white, brown, and blue asbestos respectively.

Asbestos was used extensively in the UK due to its heat resistance and insulation properties. It was commonly used in buildings for insulation, roofing, flooring, and other construction purposes. However, when asbestos fibres become airborne, they can be easily inhaled, causing serious health issues.

##Why Are Asbestos Surveys Important?

Asbestos surveys are essential for detecting the presence of asbestos, which is vital for managing and removing it safely. As a property owner or manager, you have a legal responsibility to ensure that your building is free from asbestos.

An asbestos survey involves a thorough inspection of your building to identify any materials that may contain asbestos. This involves taking samples of materials such as insulation, roofing, and flooring, which are then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

##Types Of Asbestos Surveys

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

###Management Surveys

Management surveys are the most common type of asbestos survey and are intended to identify any asbestos-containing materials within a building. The purpose of a management survey is to help the building owner or manager identify any areas of concern and develop an asbestos management plan.

A management survey involves a visual inspection of the building and the sampling of any materials that are suspected of containing asbestos. This survey is non-intrusive and can be completed while the building is occupied.

###Refurbishment or Demolition Surveys

Refurbishment or demolition surveys are more intrusive than management surveys and are conducted when a building is due to be refurbished or demolished. This type of survey is designed to locate all asbestos-containing materials that are likely to be disturbed during refurbishment or demolition work.

A refurbishment or demolition survey involves a thorough inspection of the building and the sampling of all materials that are suspected of containing asbestos. This type of survey is more intrusive than a management survey and may require some disruption to the building.
