Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

As a property owner or manager in Caerphilly, it's essential to consider the potential risks associated with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your building. Although this article is about Scotland retail, the rules are the same in Wales. Asbestos was widely used in construction until the late 1990s, and it's crucial to identify and manage these materials to ensure the safety of occupants and visitors.

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a building to identify the presence, location, and condition of ACMs. The survey is typically conducted by a licensed asbestos consultant who will assess the risk posed by these materials and provide recommendations for management or removal.

If your building was constructed before 2000, it's likely to contain ACMs. These materials can be found in various forms, including:

• Insulation
• Ceiling tiles
• Flooring
• Roofing
• Wall linings
  If you're planning to renovate, refurbish, or demolish your building, an asbestos survey is essential to ensure compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This regulation requires property owners to manage ACMs and prevent exposure to asbestos fibers.

There are two types of asbestos surveys:

1. Management Survey: This survey is designed to locate ACMs that could be disturbed during normal occupancy, including maintenance and repair work. The survey will help you develop a plan to manage these materials and prevent exposure.
2. Refurbishment and Demolition Survey: This survey is more intrusive and is required when you're planning to renovate, refurbish, or demolish your building. The survey will identify all ACMs that could be disturbed during the work.
