Asbestos Surveys Across the UK

What Is Asbestos?

Though three types have been widely used in building materials there are actually types of asbestos. The main ones are Chrysotile (white), Amosite (brown) and Crocidolite (blue). Blue is usually the most dangerous followed by brown and then white.

Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals mined from rocks and used commercially for their desirable physical properties. The trade and use of asbestos has been restricted or banned in many jurisdictions in the UK.

Where Can Asbestos Be Found?

  • Toilet cisterns can contain asbestos-reinforced resin materials
  • Insulation in floor and wall cavities, lofts and insulating boards
  • Artex or similar decorative / textures coating on ceilings and sometimes walls
  • External / internal wall panelling particularly around windows
  • Water tanks can be made from asbestos cement and is often found in pre-1980 houses
  • Flash Guards on fuse wires and panelling behind fuse boxes
  • Sprayed fire insulation
  • Floor tiles, mastics and sealants
  • Pipe works, boilers, ducts and heat exchanges

Asbestos Legislation

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, it's the duty of the site owner of a commercial premise to identify and manage asbestos in and around the property.

Employers must undertake risk assessments before commencing work which exposes, or is liable to expose, employees to asbestos. This risk assessment must include:

  • A plan of work detailing how the work is to be carried out
  • Indication of any asbestos-related issues
  • Provide solutions to these issues
  • How to prevent exposure to asbestos or reduce it to as low a level as is reasonably practicable

What's Involved In An Asbestos Survey?

A refurbishment/demolition survey, formally a type 3 survey, will be, as the name suggests, more destruction than a management survey. This will involve a surveyor accessing areas where future work is to be undertaken by knocking through a wall or drilling into floor slabs. This is to ensure that when the property is destroyed or altered that the next team in won't risk tampering with asbestos themselves that could be damaging to their health.

For an asbestos management survey, formally a type 2 survey, one of our surveyors will take small samples of suspected asbestos from a property to be sent to a lab for testing. They will also note each room in the building and the materials used in its construction - any area unaccessible will be marked as such to indicate the possibility of asbestos.
