Asbestos Survey

 

What Is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a professional inspection where qualified surveyors assess buildings for materials containing asbestos. Asbestos surveys are legally required for properties constructed before 2000 and help in compiling an asbestos register and a management plan. Accredited surveyors use meticulous inspection methods, sample suspect materials, and document findings as part of the final report.​

Types of Asbestos Survey

  • Management Survey: Non-intrusive, identifies ACMs and helps create plans for safe ongoing management.​

  • Refurbishment Survey: Intrusive survey targeting areas affected by planned renovations.​

  • Demolition Survey: Full-scale intrusive survey prior to building demolition to detect all ACMs.​

  • Re-Inspection Survey: Regular follow-up to track condition changes in previously identified ACMs.​

Asbestos Survey Process

Surveyors carry out a thorough inspection, sometimes starting with a risk assessment and site walkthrough. Key process steps include:​

  • Systematic inspection of all accessible areas using ACA-qualified surveyors.​

  • Detailed notes, diagrams, and photographs documenting suspect materials.​

  • Careful sampling of materials, sealed and sent to UKAS-accredited laboratories for testing.​

  • Compilation of a clear asbestos survey report, including diagrams of ACM locations and lab results.​

Compliance and Safety

Surveys must comply with HSE guidance HSG264, and sample analysis must be conducted in accredited labs. Surveyors follow strict safety procedures to minimise asbestos disturbance and exposure risk.​
