Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were widely used in construction before 2000, posing a significant risk to building occupants and workers. In Caerphilly, it's essential to identify asbestos in pre-2000 buildings to ensure a safe environment. The first step in managing asbestos is to conduct a thorough survey.

There are two primary types of asbestos surveys: Management Surveys and Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys.

1. Management Surveys: These surveys are designed to locate the presence of asbestos in a building, typically for ongoing maintenance and management purposes. They are not as intrusive as Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys and are usually conducted in occupied buildings.
2. Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys: These surveys are more intrusive and are typically conducted when a building is undergoing renovation, refurbishment, or demolition. They aim to identify all ACMs that could be disturbed during the work process.

If you're planning to purchase, rent, or renovate a pre-2000 building in Caerphilly, it's crucial to choose the right survey. A Management Survey is suitable for:

• Identifying asbestos in a building for ongoing management and maintenance
• Complying with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Providing a safe working environment for employees and contractors
  On the other hand, a Refurbishment/Demolition Survey is necessary for:
• Identifying all ACMs that could be disturbed during renovation, refurbishment, or demolition work
• Ensuring compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Providing a safe working environment for contractors and workers

During an asbestos survey, a trained and accredited surveyor will:

• Visually inspect the building and its equipment for signs of asbestos
• Take samples of suspected ACMs for laboratory analysis
• Identify the type and extent of asbestos present
• Provide recommendations for asbestos removal, disposal, or management
