What Is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a structured inspection of a property to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess their condition, and determine risk.

Asbestos was widely used in UK buildings until it was banned in 1999. It can still be found in:

  • Insulation boards

  • Pipe lagging

  • Floor tiles

  • Roofing sheets

  • Ceiling tiles

  • Textured coatings

Disturbing asbestos releases fibres that can cause serious illness.

A professional survey ensures:

  • Legal compliance

  • Safe renovation or demolition

  • Protection for occupants and contractors


When Do You Legally Need an Asbestos Survey?

The governing legislation is:

Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building built before 2000, you have a legal Duty to Manage asbestos.

You will typically need a survey if:

  • You own or manage a commercial property

  • You are planning refurbishment

  • You are planning demolition

  • You are a landlord of a mixed-use building

  • You are commissioning structural alterations

Failure to comply can result in unlimited fines and prosecution.
