However, we now know that prolonged exposure to asbestos can lead to deadly health conditions, such as mesothelioma and lung cancer.
An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a building or structure to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) present. The survey must be carried out by a qualified professional who has received the appropriate training and certification.
The survey will involve a visual inspection of the premises, sampling and analysis of any suspected ACMs and a detailed report outlining the findings. There are two main types of asbestos survey: Management Surveys and Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys.
If you own or manage a building or structure, it is your legal duty to manage any asbestos-containing materials in accordance with regulations set out by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). This means you must identify, assess and safely manage any ACMs in your premises to prevent the risk of exposure to workers and the public.
An asbestos survey is the first step in identifying any ACMs present in your premises, allowing you to take the necessary steps to manage or remove them safely.
The type of survey you require will depend on the purpose of the survey and the current state of your premises. You may need a Management Survey if you simply want to identify any ACMs present so you can manage them effectively. Alternatively, you may need a Refurbishment/Demolition Survey if you are planning any refurbishment or demolition work, as this will involve a more detailed inspection of the premises.
Anyone who owns or manages a building or structure may require an asbestos survey, particularly if the premises were built before 2000. This includes:

Yes, you will need an asbestos survey before any demolition or refurbishment work takes place. This is because these types of works can disturb asbestos-containing materials, leading to the risk of exposure to workers and the public.
A Refurbishment/Demolition Survey will identify any ACMs present and help you plan for the safe removal or management of these materials before any work commences.
There are two main types of asbestos surveys:
A Management Survey is the most common type of asbestos survey and is carried out on all non-domestic buildings. The survey is designed to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that may be present in the building and assess the risk of exposure to occupants.
A Management Survey will involve a visual inspection of the premises and sampling of any suspected ACMs. The survey will identify the location, type, condition and extent of any ACMs present and make recommendations for their management or removal.
A Refurbishment/Demolition Survey is required before any demolition or refurbishment work takes place on a building or structure. The survey is designed to identify any ACMs that may be present and assess the risk of exposure to workers and the public during the works.
A Refurbishment/Demolition Survey will involve a detailed inspection of the premises, including access to all areas where demolition or refurbishment work is planned. The survey will sample and analyse any suspected ACMs and provide recommendations for their safe removal.
