When Does An Asbestos Survey Need To Be Carried Out In Hampshire

Asbestos has been a common building material in various properties in Hampshire due to its insulation and fire-resistant properties.

Therefore, it is necessary to carry out an asbestos survey to manage and remove it safely from properties.

Introduction

If you are a property owner or have recently purchased a property in Hampshire, it is essential to carry out an asbestos survey to identify the existence of asbestos in your property. The control of asbestos regulations of 2012 states that all non-domestic properties built before the year 2000 must have an asbestos survey carried out before any refurbishment or demolition works take place. It is also necessary to carry out a survey for domestic properties if you suspect the presence of asbestos. A survey must be carried out by a competent person and registered with the Health and Safety Executives (HSE) Asbestos Register.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we provide thorough asbestos surveys for residential and commercial properties in Hampshire. Our surveys are conducted by highly trained and qualified professionals who use state-of-the-art equipment to identify the presence of asbestos in a building.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials such as insulation, cement, tiles, and roofing sheets. Asbestos was popular in the construction industry in the UK until 1999. When asbestos is disturbed, it releases tiny fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and cause health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos is still present in many buildings in Hampshire, and it is essential for property owners to carry out an asbestos survey to identify the presence of asbestos in their property. Our asbestos survey service provides property owners with accurate information on the presence of asbestos in their building, which allows them to manage and remove asbestos safely.

Survey

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we provide three types of asbestos surveys, which include management surveys, refurbishment surveys, and demolition surveys.

A management survey is the most common survey and is required to manage asbestos in a property. The survey aims to locate, assess, and record the condition of all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the building. The condition of the ACMs will determine the priority for their removal.

A refurbishment survey is necessary when planning construction work that may disturb or damage the building structure. The survey is also required when new plant or equipment is to be installed that may require asbestos removal.

A demolition survey is carried out before the demolition of a property. The survey aims to locate, assess, and record all ACMs in the building and is required to ensure the safe demolition of a property.

We provide comprehensive asbestos surveys in Hampshire that identify the presence of ACMs in a building. Our surveys are carried out by highly qualified and experienced professionals using state-of-the-art equipment.
