Asbestos Survey

What Is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is an inspection designed to locate, identify and assess asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within a building. Before its ban in 1999, asbestos was widely used in insulation, roofing, flooring, textured coatings and many building products. Properties built before 2000 still commonly contain asbestos.

An asbestos survey helps you understand:

Whether asbestos is present
Where it is located
What condition it is in
Whether it poses a risk
What actions (if any) are required

It is essential for safety and is legally required in many situations.

Matters

Why Asbestos Surveys Matter

Asbestos is safe when left undisturbed, but when fibres become airborne they can cause serious and life-threatening illnesses including mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer.

A professional survey ensures:

Renovation or demolition work can begin safely
Tenants and residents are protected
Landlords stay compliant with regulations
Employers meet their legal responsibilities
Property managers understand hidden risks

Without a survey, even small building works could accidentally disturb asbestos, putting people at risk.
