Learn MoreAsbestos materials
The materials below are examples of suspect asbestos-containing materials that may be encountered in pre-2000 buildings. A surveyor determines the relevant inspection scope based on the property and proposed works.
Asbestos cannot be reliably identified by appearance alone. Where suspect materials are found, surveyors may take small controlled samples for laboratory analysis. Survey reports should clearly record material locations, condition, extent and recommended next steps.
For refurbishment or demolition work, survey scope is usually more intrusive because hidden materials behind walls, floors, ceilings, ducts, risers or service routes may be disturbed during the works.
Asbestos surveys should be carried out in line with recognised UK guidance and current asbestos regulations. The main legislation covering asbestos management in the UK is the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Survey work is commonly carried out in accordance with HSE guidance including HSG264: Asbestos — The Survey Guide. This guidance explains how surveys should be planned, carried out, recorded and used by building owners, landlords, duty holders and contractors.
Many professional asbestos surveyors hold recognised industry qualifications such as BOHS P402 Surveying and Sampling Strategies for Asbestos in Buildings.
Where material sampling is required, samples should be analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory to confirm whether asbestos fibres are present. The finished report should help you understand the location, extent, condition and recommended management of any asbestos-containing materials identified.
