Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in construction until its ban in 1999. It can be found in various building materials, including insulation, flooring, and roofing. Asbestos poses a significant health risk when disturbed or damaged, releasing fibres that can cause serious respiratory diseases.

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

1. Management Surveys: These surveys are designed to identify and assess the condition of ACMs in a building. They are typically used for ongoing management and maintenance purposes, helping to ensure that ACMs are not disturbed or damaged during routine work. A management survey will provide a report on the location, condition, and risk level of ACMs, enabling you to develop a management plan to minimize the risk of fibre release.
2. Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys: These surveys are more intrusive and are required when a building is undergoing renovation, refurbishment, or demolition. They involve sampling and analysis of materials to identify ACMs, which may be disturbed or removed during the work.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) recommends that asbestos surveys be carried out by a qualified and experienced surveyor. At Helix Environmental Ltd, our surveyors are fully trained and certified to conduct asbestos surveys in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidelines.

An asbestos survey report will provide detailed information on the location, condition, and risk level of ACMs in your building. The report will also include recommendations for managing or removing ACMs, as well as a risk assessment and a plan for minimizing fibre release.

If ACMs are identified during a survey, removal and disposal may be necessary. Helix Environmental Ltd offers a comprehensive asbestos removal and disposal service, ensuring that all work is carried out in accordance with HSE guidelines and regulations.

In some cases, subsidence or soil sampling may be required to assess the risk of asbestos contamination. Our experienced surveyors can advise on the need for these additional services and provide guidance on the best course of action.
