Types of Asbestos Surveys in Stirling

Different properties and projects require different types of asbestos survey. The correct survey depends on how the building is used and whether any works are planned.

Management Asbestos Survey Stirling

A management asbestos survey is used to identify and assess asbestos-containing materials during the normal occupation and use of a building.

This type of survey is commonly required for commercial buildings, managed residential blocks, offices, schools, industrial properties, public buildings and communal areas of domestic premises.

A management survey helps duty holders:

• Locate asbestos-containing materials

• Assess the condition of asbestos materials

• Create or update an asbestos register

• Prepare an asbestos management plan

• Manage asbestos risks during normal occupation

• Protect employees, contractors, tenants and visitors

• Comply with Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012

A management survey is usually not enough before intrusive refurbishment or demolition work. If building fabric will be disturbed, a refurbishment or demolition survey may be required.

Refurbishment Asbestos Survey Stirling

A refurbishment asbestos survey is required before refurbishment, repair, upgrade or intrusive works where asbestos-containing materials may be disturbed.

This survey is more intrusive than a management survey and focuses on the specific areas affected by the proposed works.

A refurbishment survey may be needed before:

• House renovations

• Kitchen or bathroom upgrades

• Office refurbishments

• Shop fit-outs

• Ceiling removal

• Wall alterations

• Flooring replacement

• Electrical rewiring

• Mechanical and heating works

• Service riser works

• Plumbing upgrades

• Window replacement works

• Internal strip-out works

• Commercial refurbishment projects

If your property was built before 2000 and renovation works may disturb walls, ceilings, floors, panels, pipework or other building materials, asbestos should be checked before work starts.

Demolition Asbestos Survey Stirling

A demolition asbestos survey is required before full or partial demolition where asbestos may be present.

This is the most intrusive type of asbestos survey and is designed to identify asbestos-containing materials before demolition works begin.

Demolition surveys may be required for:

• Full building demolition

• Partial demolition

• Soft strip works

• Redevelopment projects

• Fire-damaged buildings

• Industrial clearance works

• Structural alterations

• Vacant or derelict buildings

A demolition asbestos survey helps ensure asbestos is identified and removed safely before demolition contractors begin work.

Asbestos Re-Inspection Surveys Stirling

Where asbestos-containing materials are already known or presumed to be present, regular re-inspection is needed to check whether their condition has changed.

An asbestos re-inspection survey helps property managers and duty holders keep asbestos registers and asbestos management plans up to date.

Re-inspection surveys are commonly used for:

• Commercial buildings

• Schools

• Industrial sites

• Offices

• Housing association properties

• Blocks of flats

• Communal areas

• Public buildings

• Existing asbestos management plans

Learn more here: Asbestos Re-Inspection Survey

Asbestos Sampling and Testing in Stirling

If you only need to check one specific suspect material, asbestos sampling may be more suitable than a full asbestos survey.

Asbestos sampling can confirm whether a material contains asbestos. This may be useful for:

• Textured coatings

• Floor tiles

• Bitumen adhesive

• Asbestos cement sheets

• Garage roof sheets

• Soffit boards

• Ceiling tiles

• Wall panels

• Pipe insulation

• Loose insulation

• Gaskets and old boards

If several areas or materials need to be checked, or if refurbishment works are planned, a full asbestos survey is usually the better option.
