An asbestos survey is an essential step in managing the risks associated with asbestos-containing materials. These materials are often found in older buildings, so if your property was built before the year 2000, there is a chance that it contains asbestos.

Asbestos is hazardous when it is disturbed or damaged, as it can release harmful fibers into the air. It is known to cause a range of serious lung diseases, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, which can be fatal. This is why it is critical to identify whether or not there is asbestos present in your building.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we offer two types of surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys. A management survey is carried out to find the presence, location, and extent of any asbestos-containing materials within a building, and to assess their condition. This survey is meant for those who own or manage a building that is currently in use.

On the other hand, a refurbishment/demolition survey is more intrusive and is carried out when a building is due to be refurbished or demolished. This type of survey is meant to locate all asbestos-containing materials in the building, including those that may be hidden or inaccessible.
