Monitoring and Managing Existing Asbestos
The purpose of an asbestos reinspection survey is to reassess previously identified asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and ensure they remain in a safe and stable condition.
This type of survey focuses on monitoring known ACMs within a property, checking for any signs of damage, deterioration, or disturbance since the last inspection. It is a key part of ongoing asbestos management, helping to ensure materials continue to be safely managed during normal occupancy and use.
Regular reinspections are essential for maintaining compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, ensuring that any changes in condition are identified early and appropriate action is taken.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an asbestos reinspection survey?
An asbestos reinspection survey is carried out to reassess previously identified asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and confirm they remain in a safe condition. It focuses on monitoring known materials rather than searching for new ones.
How often do asbestos reinspections need to be carried out?
There is no fixed timeframe, but reinspections are typically recommended every 6 to 12 months. The frequency depends on the condition of the materials, their location, and how the building is used.
Is an asbestos reinspection a legal requirement?
Yes. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, duty holders must ensure that known or presumed asbestos is regularly monitored and maintained in a safe condition.
What does a reinspection survey involve?
The survey involves revisiting previously identified ACMs, checking their condition, and assessing whether there has been any damage, deterioration, or disturbance since the last inspection.
Will the survey disrupt the building?
No, reinspection surveys are non-intrusive and are designed to be carried out with minimal disruption to normal occupancy.
What happens if the condition of asbestos has worsened?
If any materials have deteriorated or been disturbed, the report will outline the level of risk and provide clear recommendations, which may include repair, encapsulation, or removal.
Do you take new samples during a reinspection survey?
In most cases, no. Reinspection surveys focus on known ACMs. However, if previously inaccessible areas become available or concerns arise, additional sampling may be recommended.
How long does an asbestos reinspection take?
This depends on the size of the property and the number of ACMs being monitored, but most reinspections are completed within a few hours.
When will I receive the updated report?
We provide a fast turnaround, with updated reports typically delivered within 72 hours of the inspection.
