Asbestos is a hazardous mineral that was widely used in building construction until its use was banned in the UK in 1999. However, many homes and commercial buildings still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that pose a risk to human health if disturbed. To ensure safety in the workplace, it is crucial to carry out an asbestos survey. If you are looking for a reliable asbestos survey company in Hampshire, Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire is the best option.

Our team of certified specialists caters to commercial, industrial, and residential properties, providing comprehensive asbestos survey reports, management, and removal services.

What Happens During an Asbestos Survey in Hampshire?

An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a building for asbestos-containing materials. The purpose of the survey is to identify the presence, type, and condition of ACMs in a building, assess the risk of exposure, and develop a plan for their safe management or removal. The survey should be carried out by a competent and qualified asbestos surveyor, such as the ones at Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire.

First, one of our asbestos surveyors will conduct a visual inspection of the building and collect samples of suspicious materials that may contain asbestos. The surveyor will carry out a thorough examination of the building's structure, including ceilings, walls, roofs, floors, and other areas where ACMs may be present.

The surveyor will take representative samples of the materials suspected to contain asbestos, in line with Health and Safety Executive guidance on sampling and analysis of ACMs. The surveyor will ensure that the samples are collected safely, without causing disturbance to any nearby ACMs where possible. The samples are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis.

The surveyor will also document the condition, location, and extent of any ACMs identified in the building. The asbestos survey is conducted in two main types:

• Asbestos Management Survey: This survey is a popular choice for homeowners and landlords who want to make sure their property has no asbestos and gather information to manage them. The survey often requires a good report with conclusive information on how to tackle the problem.

• Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Survey: This survey is a comprehensive inspection often carried out in a building undergoing renovation or demolition. The survey aims to locate and identify ACMs, access the risk of exposure, and prepare a detailed plan for safe removal.

After the survey is complete, the surveyor will provide you with a comprehensive report detailing the location, extent, and condition of any ACMs identified in the building. The report will also include a risk assessment and recommendations on how to manage or remove the ACMs safely. If asbestos removal is necessary, Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire will help you develop a plan and carry out the removal process safely and efficiently.

Why You Need an Asbestos Survey

Asbestos is a dangerous mineral that poses a significant health risk to humans. Exposure to ACMs can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other severe respiratory diseases. Asbestos products were widely used in construction until the late 1990s, and many buildings still contain ACMs today. Even if you do not plan to carry out any construction work in your building, you must know whether there are any ACMs that could pose a risk to your health or your building's inhabitants.

Employers have a legal duty to manage and control the risk of asbestos exposure in the workplace under Control of Asbestos Regulation 2012 (CAR). Landlords have an obligation under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to provide a safe environment for their tenants, including managing the risk of asbestos exposure. An asbestos survey is the first step towards ensuring that you are fulfilling your legal responsibilities.

Moreover, an asbestos survey report can help you make informed decisions about renovating, buying, or selling a property. If you are buying a property, you need to know whether it has any ACMs, and if you are selling one, you need to have an up-to-date asbestos survey report. The survey report can also help you plan for asbestos management or removal.
