🧪 Types of Asbestos Surveys We Offer

Management Asbestos Survey

An Asbestos Management Survey is designed to locate and assess asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during normal occupation or maintenance of a property.

  • Identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)

  • Assesses condition and risk

  • Helps you comply with legal duties

✅ Ideal for landlords, offices, and occupied buildings or sale and purchases

Refurbishment Survey

An Asbestos Refurbishment Survey (previously known as a Type 3 survey) is required before any intrusive refurbishment or upgrade works are carried out on a property.

  • Fully intrusive inspection in the areas of planned works

  • May involve controlled damage to access hidden areas

  • Ensures asbestos is identified before refurbishment begins

  • Required under The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012

    This survey prevents unexpected delays, health risks and legal breaches during renovation projects.

Demolition Survey

An Asbestos Demolition Survey is the most comprehensive and intrusive type of asbestos survey.

  • Required prior to full or partial demolition

  • All areas of the structure are inspected

  • Highly intrusive and disruptive

  • Ensures asbestos is identified and safely removed before demolition

This survey is legally required before demolition works commence.

⚠️ Required by law before refurbishment or demolition
