Do I Need Asbestos Survey in Sussex?

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in construction in the past, but it is now banned due to its potential health risks. If you own a building in Sussex, you should be aware that it may contain asbestos, especially if it was built before 2000. In this landing page, we will discuss the importance of asbestos surveys, the types of surveys available, and why you should choose Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex for your asbestos survey needs.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction due to its heat-resistant properties. It was commonly used in insulation, flooring, roofing, and other building materials. However, when asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

Why Do You Need an Asbestos Survey?

If asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present in a building, they can pose a serious health risk if they are not properly managed or removed. An asbestos survey is the first step in identifying the presence, location, and condition of asbestos-containing materials in a building. It is important to note that asbestos surveys are legally required for any refurbishment or demolition projects, but they are also a good idea for all buildings, even if there are no immediate plans for construction work.

Types of Asbestos Surveys

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

Management Surveys

Management surveys are designed to locate and assess the condition of any ACMs that could be encountered during normal occupancy and use of a building. The survey will identify the location, extent, and condition of any ACMs, and it will provide a risk assessment and management plan to ensure the safe management of any ACMs present.

Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys

Refurbishment/demolition surveys are required where the premises (or part of it) need upgrading, refurbishment, or demolition. The survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs in the area where the refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building if demolition is planned. The survey will provide information on the location, quantity, and condition of any ACMs and will be used as the basis for tendering the removal of ACMs before refurbishment/demolition work begins.
