At Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we provide expert guidance on asbestos surveys and removal services within a 20-mile radius of Caerphilly.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 is the framework that outlines the minimum requirements for asbestos surveys in the UK. The regulations require that all non-domestic properties, including commercial and industrial premises, have an asbestos management plan in place. This plan must include an asbestos survey to identify the presence, location, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

There are two main types of asbestos surveys:

• Management Survey (Type II): This survey is designed to locate ACMs that are likely to be disturbed during normal occupancy, including maintenance and repair work. The survey should be conducted by a competent person and should include a visual inspection of the premises.
• Demolition Survey (Type III): This survey is required before any demolition or refurbishment work takes place. The survey should be more intrusive than a management survey and should include sampling and analysis of materials to identify ACMs.

In addition to the types of surveys mentioned above, there are additional requirements that must be met:

• Lot Quantity: The survey should identify the quantity of ACMs present and provide a detailed description of the materials, including their location and condition.
• Contract Requirements: The survey should be conducted in accordance with the contract requirements, including the scope of work, methodology, and reporting requirements.
• Regulations Compliance: The survey should be conducted in compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the HSE guidelines.

The Caerphilly Council may have additional requirements for asbestos surveys, including:

• Survey Requirements: The council may require that asbestos surveys are conducted by a licensed asbestos contractor.
• Reporting Requirements: The council may require that asbestos survey reports are submitted to them for review and approval.

It's essential to note that asbestos surveys should only be conducted by a competent person who has the necessary training, experience, and equipment to conduct the survey safely and effectively.
