The types of asbestos surveys we provide

Asbestos surveys are conducted within buildings, structures, or properties with the aim of finding asbestos-containing materials. While an asbestos survey is necessary to identify asbestos-containing materials, it's also crucial to obtain the appropriate type of survey.

Management Asbestos Survey

The management survey is the simplest and most basic type of asbestos survey. Management surveys are for, as the name suggests, the management of asbestos. This is so building users know where the asbestos might be and can monitor its condition. If it starts to deteriorate, then action can take.


Management surveys are usually visual inspections that assess the conditions of any asbestos-containing materials and potential risks during normal occupancy. The management survey is usually limited to minimal sampling and requires little intrusive work. Sometimes, the surveyor might assume that certain materials contain asbestos without sampling.


Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey

Asbestos-containing materials most often get disturbed during construction. When materials have been disturbed, the fibers are released and can be inhaled by anyone who is nearby. Asbestos fibres can enter the lungs and cause fatal diseases. What can you do to determine if asbestos has been inhaled? You won't be able to identify asbestos-containing materials unless you do. The immediate consequences are not significant. But, you may be ill in 20 years.


Refurbishment and demolition surveys (previously called a type 3 survey), are required when materials need to be disturbed in a renovation or demolition project or any other construction activity. A refurbishment and demolition survey is required for any construction project. It includes maintenance and refurbishment that could be disruptive to existing materials as well as demolition, extension, or other construction activities.
