Identifying and Managing Asbestos
The primary purpose of an asbestos management survey is to identify, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspected asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within a property.
This is a standard type of survey carried out to locate ACMs that could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including routine maintenance or installation work. It also assesses the condition of these materials to help ensure they are managed safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an asbestos management survey?
An asbestos management survey is a standard inspection carried out to locate and assess asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within a building. Its purpose is to ensure any asbestos present is identified, monitored, and managed safely during normal occupancy.
Do I need an asbestos management survey?
If you are responsible for a non-domestic property built before 2000, you are legally required to manage asbestos. This typically involves arranging an asbestos management survey to identify and assess any risks.
While this legal duty does not usually apply to private homeowners, surveys are still highly recommended for older properties, particularly before any renovation or maintenance work is carried out.
What’s the difference between a management survey and a refurbishment survey?
A management survey is designed for buildings in normal use, identifying asbestos that could be disturbed during everyday activities. A refurbishment or demolition survey is more intrusive and is required before any major building work takes place.
Will the survey disrupt my business or property?
No, asbestos management surveys are generally non-intrusive and designed to minimise disruption. Most inspections can be carried out during normal working hours.
How long does an asbestos management survey take?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the property, but most surveys are completed within a few hours to a full day.
When will I receive the report?
We provide a fast turnaround, with detailed reports typically delivered within 72 hours of the survey being completed.
What happens if asbestos is found?
If asbestos-containing materials are identified, the report will outline their condition and risk level, along with clear recommendations. In many cases, asbestos can be safely managed in place without removal.
Is asbestos always dangerous?
Asbestos is only dangerous when disturbed and fibres are released into the air. Materials in good condition that are left undisturbed generally pose a low risk.
How much does an asbestos management survey cost?
Costs vary depending on the size and type of property. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your requirements.
