Asbestos surveys are a crucial step in identifying and managing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in buildings across Caerphilly, Wales. However, many people are unsure about what exactly is involved in an asbestos survey, and whether an air test is part of the process.

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a building to identify and assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The survey is typically undertaken by a licensed asbestos consultant, such as those at Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff. Our team of experienced consultants has over 10 years of experience in providing asbestos surveys and removal services in Caerphilly and surrounding areas.

An air test, also known as an asbestos air monitoring test, is a procedure used to measure the levels of asbestos fibers in the air. This test is usually undertaken in an enclosure or a sealed area where asbestos removal or disturbance is taking place. The test is designed to ensure that the asbestos fibers are not released into the air and pose a risk to people in the surrounding area.

Not always. An air test is typically undertaken during asbestos removal or disturbance activities, rather than as part of a standard asbestos survey. However, in some cases, an air test may be recommended as part of a survey, especially if the survey identifies a high-risk asbestos material that is likely to release fibers into the air.

An air test is usually undertaken during asbestos removal or disturbance activities, such as:

• Asbestos removal projects
• Demolition or refurbishment projects
• Maintenance or repair work that involves disturbing asbestos-containing materials

An air test provides several benefits, including:

• Ensuring that asbestos fibers are not released into the air and pose a risk to people in the surrounding area
• Providing a certificate of compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Giving building owners and managers peace of mind that their asbestos removal or disturbance activities are being carried out safely and in compliance with regulations

The length of an air test can vary depending on the complexity of the project and the type of asbestos material being removed or disturbed. Typically, an air test can take anywhere from a few hours to a week or more to complete.
