What the Management Survey should support
The report must be practical for the people controlling occupation and maintenance.
Identify
Locate known or presumed ACMs within the agreed accessible scope.
Assess
Record material type, condition, surface treatment, accessibility and likelihood of disturbance.
Register
Provide information that can populate or update the building asbestos register.
Manage
Prioritise monitoring, protection, repair, encapsulation, access control or removal where appropriate.
Useful information for people maintaining the building
Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 applies to non-domestic premises and certain common parts of domestic premises. The survey is an important evidence source, but the dutyholder must also assess risk, plan actions and keep information current.
- Asbestos locations and material assessments
- Accessible areas and recorded limitations

Management asbestos survey for local property, estates and projects
The correct scope depends on the property, its history, how it is used and what will happen next—not the postcode alone.
Homes and landlords
Older housing, communal areas and outbuildings need a proportionate scope based on occupation, maintenance and proposed changes.
Commercial and public estates
Shops, offices, schools and healthcare buildings benefit from consistent records, access planning and clearly assigned actions.
Industry and development
Factories, workshops, warehouses, plant rooms and brownfield sites often need project-specific inspection and analytical planning.
What to send for an accurate written scope
Good information reduces assumptions, prevents avoidable return visits and helps confirm the correct service first time.
- Current asbestos survey and register
- Building or portfolio schedule
- Completed and outstanding actions
- Planned maintenance or refurbishment
- Named dutyholder and site contacts
- Required review, reinspection or reporting date
A Management Survey supports occupation—not intrusive refurbishment. If walls, ceilings, floors, services or other building fabric will be disturbed, a project-specific Refurbishment Survey may be required.

Management Survey FAQs
What is a Management Asbestos Survey?
It is a survey intended to locate and assess ACMs that could be disturbed during normal occupation, foreseeable maintenance and routine installation work.
Does a Management Survey make a building compliant?
It provides important information, but compliance also requires a current register, risk assessment, management plan, responsibilities, contractor controls, monitoring and review.
Can it be used before refurbishment?
Not where planned intrusive work will disturb building fabric outside the Management Survey scope. A suitable Refurbishment Survey must cover the complete work area first.
Who commonly needs this survey in Tees Valley?
Commercial owners, landlords, managing agents, schools, healthcare estates, factories, warehouses, shops, offices and organisations responsible for maintenance or repair.
