Asbestos Surveys,

Types Management & Refurbishment/Demolition

All our surveys are tailored to meet the individual requirements of the client.

There are 2 main types of asbestos survey - Management & Refurbishment/Demolition.
Occasionally a survey may include 2 different types on the same building, this could be when a particular part of a building is to be refurbished or demolished and the rest of the property is to remain but still requires a survey (This part of the building would be subjected to a management survey).

Management Survey:
In this survey all reasonably accessible areas are checked for asbestos containing materials and representative samples are taken to a UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis. This survey provides a full report and gives positive identification as to the content of particular materials regarding asbestos and includes the location and material assessments and recommendations on the management of the materials.

Refurbishment/Demolition Survey:
IAn extension of a management survey, this survey is fully intrusive and all areas such as sealed voids and cavities are inspected. This survey is only usually commissioned prior to major refurbishment or demolition.

On completion of any survey the client is provided with the following:

• A comprehensive, detailed report highlighting the presence (or not) of any asbestos containing materials that were discovered (or presumed to exist) during the course of the survey in the areas that were accessible.
• An asbestos register that can be used to identify the areas, monitor the condition and up-date the action plan on any asbestos containing materials that were found or presumed to exist.
• Individual assessments and recommendations for each item/area of asbestos that are identified.
• Drawings, Photographs and plans of areas/items that are sampled (or where presumptions are made) to aid identification and location trace ability.
• Impartial advice on the action & treatment of the asbestos containing materials that are found.
• Advice on periodic inspections and how to keep the register up-to-date.
• A laboratory analysis Data Sheet showing the results of all samples that are taken
