Why an Asbestos Survey is Required

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, it is a legal requirement for duty holders (such as landlords, building owners, or employers) to identify and manage the risks of asbestos in non-domestic premises. An asbestos survey is the first step in fulfilling this duty, as it helps to locate, assess, and monitor any asbestos-containing materials that may be present in a building.

There are two main types of asbestos surveys:

• Management Survey – Designed to locate asbestos that could be disturbed during normal occupancy and routine maintenance.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Survey – Required before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work to identify and assess all ACMs that may be disturbed during the process.

Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to serious health risks, legal penalties, and project delays. Ashley’s expertise ensures that surveys are conducted thoroughly and professionally, providing clients with peace of mind and full regulatory compliance.
