SURVEY REQUIREMENTS
Do I Need an Asbestos Survey?
If you’re buying a house, an asbestos survey is not usually a legal requirement, but it is often recommended for peace of mind before completing the purchase.
If you are refurbishing, altering or demolishing a property built before the year 2000, a refurbishment or demolition asbestos survey is required before work begins.
For commercial buildings, duty holders have a legal responsibility under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to manage asbestos safely, which usually includes having an asbestos management survey in place.

Required before any building work, these surveys locate asbestos within the areas being worked on so it can be safely removed prior to refurbishment or demolition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an asbestos survey and what is involved?
Asbestos surveys will involve a thorough examination of your property in order to determine if any of this hazardous material may be present. Most of these examinations involve the removal of small samples of substances suspected to contain asbestos. If asbestos is indeed identified, it can then be removed within controlled settings. The ultimate goal is to protect the health of building occupants, any employees and the general public. These surveys are the best ways to professionally assess the risk associated with a specific situation so that the appropriate actions can then be taken sooner as opposed to later.
What if i dont know what help i need?
We have a dedicated Glossary Of Terms page which contains all asbestos related terms, when talking about locations, surveys, management and more. This list will give you a slight slice of education on some relevant terms to help you understand better what exactly you may require or what we explain to you. We are the proffessionals so dont worry, our team will happily explain all terms or any confussions to you at any time.
What health dangers are posed by asbestos?
Although asbestos is a natural mineral, it is also a known carcinogen (a substance which has been shown to cause cancer in humans). Asbestos mainly affects the lungs and the lining of the chest. This can result in a condition known as mesothelioma as well as many different forms of cancer. Asbestos is particularly hazardous if its fibres are released into the air, as they can be easily inhaled. Current studies estimate that more than 4,000 individuals across the United Kingdom will die every year from conditions directly or indirectly related to asbestos exposure.
Could my recently purchased property contain asbestos?
This will partially depend upon the age of your property. If it was constructed or if major renovations took place before 2000, it may very well contain appreciable levels of asbestos. Certain types of cement, roof tiles, pipe insulation, and floor tiles are all potential sources of this hazardous material. This is why it is very important to consult with a professional so that the presence of asbestos can be ruled out.
What if i suspect my property contains asbestos?
First and foremost, never disturb any materials that you suspect may contain asbestos; even if you are not entirely certain. In the event that these materials have already been disturbed by accident, cordon off the area so that it cannot be accessed by others. It is then critical to contact one of our professionals, as asbestos should never be handled without the proper training.
what should i expect to pay for a professional asbestos survey?
Our team will take several factors into account when providing a survey quotation. These commonly include (but may not be limited to):
- The size of the property.
- Its configuration.
- The number of rooms.
- Its age and when the last time any renovations took place.
Although an on-site analysis is the best way to provide you with an accurate price, there may be times when we can supply a quotation via email or over the telephone.
This will primarily depend upon how much information you are able to provide to one of our representatives.
