What is An Asbestos survey?
An asbestos survey is a critical step in identifying and assessing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within a property. Conducted by licensed professionals, the survey helps determine the presence, location, and condition of asbestos, ensuring the safety of occupants and compliance with legal regulations. Whether for renovation, demolition, or routine inspection, an asbestos survey provides the necessary information to manage or safely remove asbestos, minimizing health risks associated with exposure.

Expert Asbestos Testing Services in Hampshire
If your property was built before 2000, there’s a chance it could contain asbestos. At Stay Safe Environmental, we have extensive experience in providing thorough asbestos testing and sampling for commercial, residential, and industrial properties across Surrey, following current HSE guidelines. Whether you require small-scale testing for a home DIY project, an Asbestos Refurbishment Survey for renovation work, or need assistance in developing an Asbestos Management Plan for your property, we’re here to help.
The presence of asbestos doesn’t always mean removal is necessary; in many cases, it can be safely monitored and managed in place, or remedial actions can be taken to reduce risks to acceptable levels. Our asbestos testing and surveying services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
Types of asbestos surveys
There are three main types of asbestos surveys, each designed for different situations and requirements:
1. Asbestos Management Survey
- Purpose: To locate and assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a building that could be disturbed during normal activities, maintenance, or everyday operations.
- Who needs it: Property owners or facility managers looking to manage asbestos risks in their buildings.
- Outcome: A report identifying the location and condition of ACMs, along with recommendations for management or removal.
2. Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Survey
- Purpose: Conducted before any major refurbishment or demolition work, this survey ensures all ACMs are identified and safely removed before work begins.
- Who needs it: Contractors, developers, or property owners planning significant renovations or demolition.
- Outcome: A detailed survey that may involve destructive inspection to find hidden asbestos, ensuring all hazardous materials are properly dealt with.
3. Asbestos Re-inspection Survey
- Purpose: Regularly conducted to monitor the condition of asbestos-containing materials identified in a previous survey, ensuring they remain safe and undisturbed.
- Who needs it: Property owners or managers who have ACMs in their buildings that require ongoing monitoring.
- Outcome: An updated report on the condition of ACMs, with guidance on whether further action is needed.
Each survey type plays a key role in safely managing asbestos in different scenarios.
Who Needs An Asbestos Survey?
An asbestos survey is crucial for both domestic and commercial properties. Homeowners and landlords of residential buildings, especially those built before the 1990s, should conduct surveys to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and ensure the safety of occupants. Real estate agents may also need an asbestos survey before selling or leasing properties. In the commercial sector, businesses, facility managers, and contractors should arrange surveys before any renovation, maintenance, or demolition work. Developers and construction companies may also need asbestos surveys to comply with safety regulations and prevent project delays.

Asbestos Refurbishment Survey
An Asbestos Refurbishment Survey is a detailed inspection conducted before any refurbishment or renovation work in a property that may contain asbestos. The purpose of this survey is to locate and assess all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within the areas being refurbished to ensure they are identified and safely managed or removed before work begins.
Unlike a general asbestos management survey, the refurbishment survey is intrusive and may involve destructive inspection methods, as it aims to uncover asbestos hidden within walls, ceilings, floors, or other building components. It is legally required in the UK under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for any building constructed before 2000, prior to significant renovation or demolition work.
Key elements of an asbestos refurbishment survey include:
-
Thorough Inspection: A detailed examination of the property, covering all areas where refurbishment is planned, including structural components and concealed spaces.
-
Sampling and Testing: If asbestos is suspected, samples are collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis.
-
Action Plan: Based on the findings, the asbestos survey report provides recommendations for managing or removing the identified ACMs safely.
This survey ensures that all asbestos risks are accounted for, preventing accidental exposure during renovation work. To comply with regulations and protect health, it’s essential to hire licensed asbestos professionals to conduct this survey before starting any refurbishment project

Asbestos Management Survey
An Asbestos Management Survey is designed to locate and assess asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a building to ensure they are properly managed and do not pose a risk to occupants. It is typically required for any property built before the year 2000, particularly in commercial or public buildings where asbestos may still be present.
The primary purpose of an asbestos management survey is to:
- Identify ACMs: This includes a non-intrusive inspection of accessible areas such as walls, ceilings, floors, and ducts.
- Assess Condition: The survey evaluates the condition of the asbestos materials to determine if they are damaged or deteriorating, which could lead to the release of harmful fibers.
- Create a Management Plan: Based on the findings, the survey provides recommendations for managing asbestos safely. This could involve encapsulation, regular monitoring, or removal in case of significant risk.
Unlike the asbestos refurbishment survey, the management survey is generally non-destructive and focuses on managing asbestos in place, especially if it is in good condition and not being disturbed.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 mandates that building owners and duty holders are responsible for ensuring that ACMs are identified and that an appropriate asbestos management plan is in place to protect occupants and workers. Regular re-inspections may also be required to monitor the condition of asbestos over time
