Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

As a property owner or manager in Caerphilly, it's essential to understand the validity of an asbestos survey to ensure compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. At Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we provide expert guidance on asbestos management and surveys.

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a building to identify the presence, type, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The survey is a critical step in managing asbestos risks and creating a plan for safe removal or management.

The validity of an asbestos survey depends on various factors, including the type of survey, the condition of the building, and any changes made to the property. According to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, an asbestos survey is typically valid for:

• 12 months for a Management Survey, which is a standard survey that identifies ACMs and assesses their condition.
• 12-24 months for a Refurbishment Survey, which is a more detailed survey required for building refurbishment or demolition projects.
• 3-6 months for a Demolition Survey, which is a comprehensive survey required for building demolition projects.

An asbestos survey is crucial for ensuring the safety of building occupants, workers, and the general public. Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. By identifying ACMs and assessing their condition, an asbestos survey helps property owners and managers to:

• Create a plan for safe removal or management of ACMs
• Reduce the risk of asbestos exposure
• Comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Avoid costly fines and penalties

If an asbestos survey is not valid, property owners and managers may face serious consequences, including:

• Fines and penalties for non-compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Increased risk of asbestos exposure to building occupants and workers
• Delayed or cancelled building projects due to asbestos-related issues
