Types of Asbestos Survey We Provide in Middlesbrough

The correct asbestos survey depends on the property, the reason for the survey and whether refurbishment, demolition or maintenance work is planned.

Asbestos Management Survey Middlesbrough

An asbestos management survey is usually required for buildings that are occupied and in normal use.

The purpose of a management survey is to locate asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation, maintenance or routine repair work.

A management survey is commonly required for:

• Commercial properties

• Offices

• Shops and retail units

• Warehouses

• Industrial units

• Schools and colleges

• Public buildings

• Communal areas of flats

• Landlord-managed properties

• Housing association properties

• Property management portfolios

The survey helps create or update an asbestos register and supports the asbestos management plan for the building.

Refurbishment Asbestos Survey Middlesbrough

A refurbishment asbestos survey is required before intrusive refurbishment, upgrade or alteration works are carried out.

This survey is more intrusive than a standard management survey and focuses on the areas where work is planned.

A refurbishment survey may be needed before:

• Office refurbishments

• Shop fit-outs

• Kitchen or bathroom replacements

• Ceiling removals

• Partition wall alterations

• Electrical rewires

• Heating upgrades

• Pipework replacement

• Roof works

• Flooring works

• Mechanical and electrical works

• Localised strip-out works

If contractors will disturb the building fabric, the affected areas should be surveyed before work starts.

For more guidance, read our blog: Do I Need an Asbestos Survey Before Renovation or Refurbishment Work?

Demolition Asbestos Survey Middlesbrough

A demolition asbestos survey is required before demolition work is carried out on a building where asbestos may be present.

This is normally the most intrusive type of asbestos survey. It is designed to identify asbestos-containing materials before demolition, soft strip or major structural works begin.

A demolition survey may be required for:

• Full building demolition

• Partial demolition

• Soft strip works

• Structural alterations

• Industrial demolition projects

• Site redevelopment

• Fire-damaged buildings

• Derelict buildings

• Commercial site clearance

• Factory or warehouse demolition

The survey helps clients, principal contractors and demolition contractors plan asbestos removal and avoid unexpected asbestos discoveries during the project.

Where asbestos is found before demolition or refurbishment, we can also support with asbestos removal, asbestos air monitoring and 4-stage clearance requirements.

Asbestos Re-Inspection Survey Middlesbrough

If asbestos-containing materials are already known to be present, they should be re-inspected regularly to check their condition and confirm whether the risk has changed.

An asbestos re-inspection survey can help keep your asbestos register and asbestos management plan up to date.

Re-inspection surveys are suitable for:

• Commercial buildings

• Schools

• Offices

• Shops

• Industrial premises

• Warehouses

• Landlord-managed buildings

• Housing associations

• Communal areas of flats

• Property portfolios
