Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos surveys are a crucial step in identifying and managing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in buildings. If you're a building owner or manager in Caerphilly, you may be wondering how long an asbestos survey takes. At Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we provide expert asbestos surveys and removal services to help you ensure a safe and compliant environment.

The length of time an asbestos survey takes can vary depending on several factors, including:

1. Size of the building: Larger premises require more time to survey, as our team needs to inspect every area, including hidden spaces like attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls.
2. Type of survey: There are two main types of asbestos surveys: Management Surveys and Demolition/Refurbishment Surveys. Management Surveys are typically faster, as they focus on identifying ACMs in accessible areas. Demolition/Refurbishment Surveys, on the other hand, require a more detailed inspection, as they involve assessing the entire building, including areas that may be disturbed during renovation or demolition.
3. Complexity of the building: Buildings with complex layouts, multiple levels, or unique features, such as listed buildings or those with asbestos-containing materials in hard-to-reach areas, may require more time to survey.
4. Number of materials to be sampled: If multiple materials need to be sampled and tested for asbestos, the survey may take longer.

In general, an asbestos survey can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the factors mentioned above. Here are some rough estimates:

• Small residential properties: 1-2 hours
• Medium-sized commercial buildings: 2-4 hours
• Large industrial premises: 4-8 hours or more
• Complex or high-risk buildings: several days or even weeks

During an asbestos survey, our trained and experienced team will:

1. Inspect the building and its materials to identify potential ACMs.
2. Take samples of suspected ACMs for laboratory analysis.
3. Assess the condition and extent of any ACMs present.
4. Provide recommendations for managing or removing ACMs.
