Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

As a homeowner, business owner, or property manager in Caerphilly, it's essential to understand the laws and regulations surrounding asbestos surveys. In the UK, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 sets out the rules for managing asbestos in non-domestic premises, including schools, council buildings, and commercial properties.

In Caerphilly, the local council is responsible for enforcing these regulations within the borough. According to the law, any non-domestic property built before 2000 is likely to contain asbestos materials. As a result, it is a legal requirement for property owners and managers to have an asbestos survey conducted to identify the presence, quantity, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within their premises.

Caerphilly's schools are no exception to this rule. The local council has a duty to ensure that all schools within the borough have an asbestos management plan in place, which includes regular asbestos surveys and monitoring. This is to protect the health and safety of students, teachers, and staff.

If you're a property owner or manager in Caerphilly, you're required to:

1. Have an asbestos survey conducted by a licensed asbestos surveyor to identify the presence of ACMs.
2. Create an asbestos management plan to outline how you will manage and maintain the ACMs.
3. Regularly review and update the asbestos management plan to ensure it remains effective.

There are two main types of asbestos surveys:

1. Asbestos Management Survey (Type III): This survey is designed to locate and assess the condition of ACMs in a building. It's typically used for routine maintenance and repair work.
2. Asbestos Refurbishment/Demolition Survey (Type IV): This survey is more intrusive and is used when a building is undergoing renovation or demolition work.
