Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we understand the importance of asbestos surveys in ensuring a safe and compliant environment for property owners and occupants in Caerphilly. As a leading asbestos removal company in Cardiff, we provide expert guidance on asbestos surveys, including their duration and requirements.

An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a building to identify the presence, type, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The survey is a crucial step in managing asbestos risks and ensuring compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

There are two main types of asbestos surveys:

1. Management Survey: This type of survey is designed to locate and identify ACMs in a building, as well as assess their condition and potential risks. A management survey is typically required for non-intrusive works, such as routine maintenance and repairs.
2. Refurbishment and Demolition Survey: This type of survey is more intrusive and is required for major refurbishment or demolition projects. It involves sampling and analysis of materials to identify ACMs and assess their risks.

The duration of an asbestos survey can vary depending on the type of survey, the size of the building, and the complexity of the work. Generally, a management survey can last from a few hours to several days, while a refurbishment and demolition survey can take several days to several weeks.

After the survey, a report is compiled, which includes:

1. Asbestos Register: A comprehensive register of ACMs found in the building, including their location, type, and condition.
2. Risk Assessment: An assessment of the risks associated with the ACMs and recommendations for their management or removal.
3. Recommendations: Recommendations for managing or removing ACMs, including any necessary repairs or maintenance.

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone who has a duty to manage asbestos in a non-domestic premises must have an asbestos survey. This includes:

1. Property Owners: Owners of non-domestic premises, including commercial and industrial properties.
2. Landlords: Landlords of non-domestic premises.
3. Employers: Employers who have employees working in non-domestic premises.
