There are three asbestos survey types in the U.K.

The asbestos survey types can be found in HSG-264 the survey guide, and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

These are:

Management asbestos surveys
Refurbishment asbestos surveys
Demolition asbestos surveys

Any non-residential building built before the end of 1999 will require some form of asbestos survey or sign-off that no asbestos was used within the construction.

Without this important information, an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) or an asbestos register cannot be properly implemented or produced.

It is a legal requirement for any person designated as the duty holder of a property to produce an asbestos register for the property they control.

Once the register is in place, they are also legally bound to produce an Asbestos Management Plan for the asbestos identified within the survey.

The asbestos survey type required depends upon a number of factors.

Are you planning to do work on the property?
Are you aware of any previous reports for the property?
Are you demolishing all or parts of the building?

The survey types can also be interlinked to include two or even three types of survey in one for buildings where major works are commencing. To see what areas of a building a survey covers see here.

Additional Details

ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT SURVEY

The Asbestos Management Survey is the standard non-intrusive asbestos survey type (formerly Type 2).

This is used for the management of asbestos within a building where no works are being carried out.

The survey includes sampling and identification of materials that are accessible within a building. This asbestos survey type does not typically have any damage to the building.

All areas of the building should be accessed including lofts and basements where access is available.

ASBESTOS REFURBISHMENT SURVEY

The Asbestos Refurbishment Survey is used prior to any type of intrusive works.

It is a legal requirement to provide a survey or have one carried out before works start.

With this asbestos survey type, the asbestos surveyor will review where the works will be carried out and what areas will be damaged before starting the inspection on-site.

The surveyor will intrusively inspect the areas either by breaking into materials or inspecting using bore-scopes to see what type of materials are below the surface. This way when workers enter the property, they are not exposed to materials that could harm them or endanger inhabitants of the property.

This asbestos survey type will only damage the areas of proposed work and will avoid causing damage to areas not being worked on.

ASBESTOS DEMOLITION SURVEY

The demolition asbestos survey is the most intrusive inspection type.

In this type, the surveyors will go right through all parts of the building causing as much damage as is required to see exactly what the buildings construction is made from.

The damage can be extensive and as such this type of inspection should only be conducted where building’s are being demolished in full.

Every void, panel, loft and boxing will be fully opened to provide the surveyor with full access to all areas of the building.
