Asbestos Survey
A survey of a building to identify and assess materials containing asbestos before refurbishment or demolition. Buildings constructed before 2000 may contain asbestos cement sheets, insulation boards, floor tiles, or textured ceiling coatings (artex). Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, a refurbishment/demolition survey is legally required before any work involving demolition, stripping out, or significant disturbance of building materials.
