Asbestos was once used extensively in building materials, even in residential properties. It can be found in a variety of areas throughout a building, including insulation, ceiling tiles, pipes, flooring, and more. An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a building to determine the presence, type, and condition of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we offer two different types of asbestos surveys: Management and Refurbishment/Demolition (R&D). A management survey is conducted to identify ACMs that may be present within a building or premises and is required by law for non-domestic properties. A refurbishment/demolition survey is required when planning refurbishment or demolition work and identifies all ACMs within the building.

An asbestos survey is crucial to ensure the safety of all occupants and workers within a building. If ACMs are found, appropriate measures must be taken to manage, remove or encapsulate them to prevent exposure and reduce the risk of asbestos-related illnesses.
