What Area Must Asbestos Survey Cover in Caerphilly

Asbestos surveys are a crucial step in identifying and managing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in properties across Caerphilly. At Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we understand the importance of comprehensive asbestos surveys in ensuring the safety of building occupants and compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Asbestos Survey Requirements

A thorough asbestos survey should cover all areas of the property, including:

  1. Property Condition: The survey should assess the overall condition of the property, including any signs of damage, deterioration, or previous asbestos removal.
  2. Building Layout: The survey should include a detailed layout of the building, including all rooms, corridors, and common areas.
  3. ACMs Identification: The survey should identify all ACMs present in the property, including asbestos-containing materials such as insulation, ceiling tiles, and flooring.
  4. Risk Assessment: The survey should assess the risk posed by each ACM, taking into account factors such as condition, accessibility, and likelihood of disturbance.
  5. Management Recommendations: The survey should provide recommendations for managing ACMs, including implementing measures to prevent disturbance, labeling, and monitoring.

Types of Asbestos Surveys

There are two main types of asbestos surveys:

  1. Management Survey: This type of survey is designed to locate ACMs that could be disturbed during normal occupancy, including maintenance and repair work.
  2. Refurbishment and Demolition Survey: This type of survey is required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out, and is designed to identify all ACMs present in the property.
