Do House Survey Test To Asbestos In Sussex

Asbestos is a dangerous mineral that was once widely used in home construction and insulation for its fire-resistant properties. However, it was banned in 1999 in the UK due to the health risks it posed, including cancer, lung diseases, and mesothelioma. If you are buying or own a property in Sussex, it is crucial to have a house survey conducted to check for the presence of asbestos.

What is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property to identify and measure the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and their condition. The survey is usually conducted by a trained and accredited asbestos surveyor who will use sampling techniques, visual inspections, and laboratory analysis to determine the extent and type of asbestos in the building.

There are three types of asbestos surveys:

1. Management Survey

A management survey is the standard type of survey required for all non-domestic properties and any domestic property built before 2000. It is a non-intrusive survey that aims to locate, identify, and assess the condition of any ACMs that may be disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance activities. The surveyor will take samples of suspected ACMs and assess their risk level.

2. Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

This survey is required before any refurbishment or demolition activities in a property, as these activities are likely to disturb ACMs. The surveyor will conduct a more intrusive survey that involves destructive sampling of the suspected ACM material. The aim is to identify all ACMs, their location, extent and condition, and assess their potential risk to people in the vicinity.

3. Asbestos Survey Review

This survey is a re-evaluation of existing asbestos survey reports for any changes or updates in the building's condition or ACM materials. It is necessary to review any asbestos surveys over time to ensure the building's continued safety as the condition of the ACMs can deteriorate.

Why You Need an Asbestos Survey for Your Property

If your property was built before 2000 or you are planning any refurbishment or demolition work, you need an asbestos survey to comply with health and safety regulations and protect yourself, tenants, or future occupants from the health risks of asbestos. Even if you have no plans for building work, an asbestos survey can help you identify any potential risks posed by asbestos and plan accordingly.

An asbestos survey can also provide a report that can be used for insurance purposes, renting out the property, or selling the property. An asbestos survey can add value to the property as it assures the buyer that the property is free from asbestos and is safe to inhabit.

What to Do if ACMs Are Found in Your Property

If ACMs are found in your property, the first step is to assess the risk level and determine the management plan. ACMs that are in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed can be managed in situ with regular monitoring and maintenance. However, if ACMs are disturbed or damaged, they need to be removed as soon as possible to minimize the health risks to occupants.
