What is an Asbestos Refurbishment Survey?

An asbestos refurbishment survey is required before any refurbishment or maintenance work that could disturb the fabric of a building constructed before 2000. It is more intrusive than a management survey and is designed to locate all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the area where work is planned.

The survey involves destructive inspection and access to all areas where work will take place, including inside walls, above ceilings and under floors. A detailed report is provided to ensure contractors can work safely and in compliance with the law.

Why is it Required?

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, a refurbishment survey is a legal requirement before any work that could disturb asbestos. Starting work without one puts workers and occupants at serious risk and exposes you to significant legal liability.

  • Legal requirement before any refurbishment or maintenance work
