What is an asbestos survey

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a property to identify the presence of asbestos or asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Conducted by an accredited surveyor, the process involves carefully examining the property to locate any potentially hazardous materials. If suspicious materials are found, samples are sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis. You’ll receive a detailed report outlining any asbestos detected, ensuring you have all the information needed to manage the risk safely and effectively.

Pre-Sale or Lease of a Domestic Property

In recent years, it has become increasingly common for buyers to request an asbestos survey as part of the property sale process. While this practice has been standard in the commercial sector for some time, it’s now gaining popularity among domestic property purchasers due to growing awareness of asbestos in buildings.

A pre-sale asbestos survey, often referred to as a Management Asbestos Survey, involves a thorough visual inspection of the property. During the survey, we carefully assess all areas and take samples of any materials that appear to contain asbestos. This provides buyers with the reassurance they need and helps ensure a smooth transaction.

Refurbishment or Significant Building Work

If you're planning to carry out refurbishment work or demolish a structure such as a building, outhouse, garage, or barn, you’ll need a Refurbishment & Demolition Survey (commonly referred to as an R&D Asbestos Survey).

This is a legal requirement before any refurbishment, demolition, or significant upgrades can begin, as outlined in HSG 264 guidelines.

During this survey, we thoroughly inspect the areas that will be impacted by the work. This may involve opening up walls, partitions, or ceilings to check for hidden asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) like asbestos cement or insulating boards. In some cases, floorboards and coverings may need to be lifted to identify vinyl asbestos tiles, which are often found in older properties.

For minor upgrades, such as installing a new lock or painting walls and floors, a full R&D Asbestos Survey may not be necessary. Instead, a sample test can usually determine whether asbestos is present in specific areas, providing a simpler and cost-effective solution.

Do I Need a Refurbishment Survey for Every Job?

As a building contractor, you might wonder if you need a Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Survey for every project.

A common misconception is that R&D surveys are only required for non-domestic properties. While it’s true that the HSE website highlights non-domestic properties, the legal situation goes a step further.

Once work begins on a domestic property, it is considered a “place of work” and is subject to the same health and safety laws as any building site. This means you are legally obligated to ensure the safety of your team and others, including conducting the necessary asbestos surveys.

If you’re unsure whether an R&D Survey is required for your project, call us today for advice and guidance. We’re here to help you stay compliant and safe.
