Introduction

Asbestos is a highly dangerous material that was widely used in building construction for many years. It has since been banned due to the adverse health effects it can cause, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. However, many buildings still contain asbestos, which is why it's essential to get an asbestos survey before any building work takes place.

If you're based in Sussex and require an asbestos survey, look no further than Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex. We are a leading asbestos survey company in Sussex with years of experience carrying out surveys on all types of buildings. Here, we'll explain the two types of asbestos surveys we offer and how they can benefit you.

Asbestos Surveys

An asbestos survey is an in-depth examination of a building to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that may be present. This survey is essential before any renovation or demolition work takes place in a building built before 2000 as most of them have ACMs. There are two types of asbestos surveys:

1. Management Asbestos Survey

If you own or manage a building or estate constructed before 2000, you have a legal responsibility to manage any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) present in the building. A management asbestos survey will identify the location, condition, and extent of any ACMs present in the building as well as its accessibility. The survey report will include a risk assessment of the ACMs identified, along with recommendations for managing any risks if necessary.

This type of survey must be carried out regularly, depending on the risks posed by the ACMs. If any changes occur to the building or the ACMs' condition, another survey must be carried out to update the existing asbestos register.

2. Refurbishment or Demolition Asbestos Survey

A refurbishment or demolition asbestos survey is required before any building or demolition work takes place in a building constructed before 2000. This survey is more intrusive than a management asbestos survey, as the surveyors will be looking to identify any ACMs that may be disturbed during the works.

The survey will be carried out on any areas of the building that will be affected by the proposed works, and the surveyors will take samples of any suspected ACMs present. The survey report will include a detailed assessment of any ACMs present, along with recommendations for their removal before the works take place.
