What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials in the UK between the 1950s and 1980s. It was popular due to its insulating and fire-retardant properties, and was commonly used in products such as cement, roofing, floor tiles, and insulation.

However, it was later discovered that asbestos can pose serious health risks when it is disturbed or damaged. When asbestos fibres are released into the air, they can be inhaled and cause lung problems such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

It's therefore crucial to ensure that any asbestos within a property is properly managed and removed if necessary.

Why Do I Need an Asbestos Survey?

If you're planning any refurbishment or demolition work on a building that was built before the year 2000, it's important to have an asbestos survey carried out. This is because any building built before this time has the potential to contain asbestos, and any refurbishment or demolition work can disturb the asbestos and release it into the air.

An asbestos survey will identify if any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present within your property. The survey will also assess the condition of any ACMs and provide recommendations for their management or removal.

Types of Asbestos Surveys

There are two main types of asbestos surveys - Management Surveys and Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys.

Management Surveys

Management Surveys are generally carried out in occupied buildings to identify any ACMs that may be present, and to assess their condition.

These surveys are designed to be non-intrusive and do not disturb the fabric of the building. They are intended to provide a baseline for determining the presence and condition of any ACMs that may be present and to provide recommendations for their management.

Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys

Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys are carried out when a building is to be refurbished or demolished. This type of survey is far more intrusive than a Management Survey and is designed to locate any ACMs that may be present within the building in advance of refurbishment or demolition work.

These surveys are essential to ensure that any ACMs are properly identified and dealt with appropriately prior to any work commencing. This will ensure that any potential risks to health are minimised as far as possible.
