Asbestos surveys that tell you exactly what's there

An asbestos survey finds out if there's asbestos in a building, where it is and what state it's in. There are two main types. A management survey is for a building in normal use. A refurbishment and demolition survey goes deeper, and you need one before any building work starts.

The surveyors we work with inspect the property and safely take samples of anything suspect. An accredited lab tests them. You get a clear written report. It lists where the asbestos is (the asbestos register) and how risky it is. So you know what you're dealing with before any work or purchase goes ahead.

Asbestos Survey FAQs

What types of asbestos survey are there?
There are two main types. A management survey finds asbestos so it can be managed safely while a building stays in normal use. A refurbishment and demolition survey goes deeper, and you need one before any building work starts. A re-inspection survey then keeps an eye on known asbestos over time.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A management survey of a typical home usually takes a few hours. Bigger or commercial buildings take longer, and so do the deeper refurbishment and demolition surveys. The samples then go to a lab for testing. Your written report usually follows within a few working days of the visit.
Does my property contain asbestos?
If your property was built or refurbished before 2000, it may well contain asbestos. It wasn't fully banned in the UK until 1999. It often turns up in roof sheets, textured coatings like Artex, floor tiles, pipe lagging and insulation board. The only reliable way to know for sure is a professional survey.
Is disturbed asbestos dangerous?
Yes. Asbestos is usually low-risk while it's intact and left alone. The danger comes when it's disturbed. Drilling, cutting, sanding or breaking it releases tiny fibres that are harmful to breathe in. If you think something contains asbestos, leave it alone. Arrange a survey or removal before any work starts.
