An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a building to identify ACMs and assess their condition. Asbestos surveys are essential to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air, which can lead to health risks for occupants and workers. According to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, all non-domestic buildings built before 2000 must have an asbestos survey before any refurbishment or demolition work can take place.

Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex offers two types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys. A management survey is aimed at identifying ACMs that may be disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance of a building. A refurbishment/demolition survey, on the other hand, is more intrusive and is carried out when a building is to be refurbished or demolished. The purpose of the survey is to identify all ACMs so that they can be safely removed before any work begins.
