If you own, manage, or are planning work on a property built before 2000, it is important to identify whether asbestos-containing materials are present. At Bawcro Asbestos, we provide professional asbestos surveys across Yorkshire, helping property owners meet their legal responsibilities and safely manage asbestos risks.
With over 20 years of experience in asbestos removal and management, our team carries out detailed surveys to identify asbestos materials and provide clear guidance on how they should be managed.
Our surveys are conducted in accordance with HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, ensuring you receive accurate information and practical recommendations.
What Is an Asbestos Survey?
An asbestos survey is a structured inspection of a property carried out to locate and identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
During the survey, suspected materials are inspected and samples may be taken for laboratory analysis to confirm whether asbestos is present.
The purpose of an asbestos survey is to:
-
Identify asbestos-containing materials within a property
-
Assess the condition of the materials
-
Determine the potential risk of fibre release
-
Provide recommendations for safe management or removal
Once the survey is complete, you will receive a clear and detailed report outlining the findings and recommended actions.
Types of Asbestos Surveys
Asbestos Management Survey
An asbestos management survey is the most common type of survey and is designed to locate asbestos materials that could be disturbed during normal building occupation or maintenance.
This survey helps property owners and duty holders manage asbestos safely and remain compliant with regulations.
Management surveys are typically required for:
-
Commercial buildings
-
Rental properties
-
Offices and retail premises
-
Industrial buildings
-
Schools and public buildings
Refurbishment and Demolition Survey
A refurbishment and demolition survey is required before any major building work takes place.
This type of survey is more intrusive and is designed to locate asbestos materials that could be disturbed during refurbishment or demolition works.
It is commonly required before:
-
Structural alterations
-
Major renovations
-
Demolition projects
-
Property redevelopment
Identifying asbestos before work begins helps prevent exposure risks and costly project delays.
