What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in the construction industry during the 20th century. It was used in building materials such as insulation, roofing, and flooring because of its heat-resistant properties.

However, when asbestos is disturbed, it can release dangerous fibers into the air which, if inhaled, can cause serious health problems including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

Asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, but its widespread use in the past means that many buildings still contain asbestos materials. It's therefore essential to have an asbestos survey carried out to check for its presence.

Why Do You Need an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a legal requirement for any premises built before 2000, including residential and commercial buildings. The survey aims to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and assess the risk of them being disturbed.

If asbestos is found during the survey, it must be managed or removed in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This legislation sets out guidelines on how to manage asbestos-containing materials, which can include leaving the material in place if it's in good condition or removing it if it poses a risk.

In order to comply with the regulations, it's essential to have an asbestos survey carried out by a competent and qualified surveyor.

Types of Asbestos Surveys

There are two types of asbestos surveys: a management survey and a refurbishment/demolition survey.

A management survey is the standard survey and is carried out on all non-domestic properties. It aims to locate the presence and extent of any asbestos-containing materials that may be disturbed during normal occupancy.

A refurbishment/demolition survey is carried out when the building is due to be renovated or demolished. Its objective is to locate all asbestos-containing materials within the building, which may be disturbed during refurbishment or demolition work.

Asbestos Survey Process

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, our surveyors follow a strict and thorough process to ensure that all asbestos-containing materials are identified and assessed.

Our surveyors will carry out a visual inspection of your premises, including any accessible areas, to identify any visible asbestos-containing materials. Samples may also be taken for analysis in a UKAS-accredited laboratory.

Once the asbestos-containing materials have been identified, a report will be produced that details their location, condition, and the risk of them being disturbed. We will also provide recommendations on whether the asbestos should be managed or removed and the actions required to comply with the regulations.
