What is a Management Survey?

This type of survey is typically non-intrusive and is designed to assess the presence and condition of any asbestos-containing materials that are readily accessible within the building. It focuses on areas where occupants or maintenance personnel might come into contact with asbestos during everyday activities.

What happens during the survey visit and testing?

On the day of the agreed appointment, the asbestos survey and sample removal will be carried out on all areas of your property as required.

An Asbestos Management Survey doesn’t expire, but the information within it must be kept up to date. The condition of any known asbestos materials should be re-inspected regularly—usually every 6 to 12 months—and the management plan should be reviewed accordingly.

No. Asbestos surveys must be carried out by trained, competent professionals with experience in identifying ACMs and taking samples safely. Using a qualified asbestos surveyor ensures compliance with HSE guidance and reduces health risks.

No. The Management Survey focuses on identifying asbestos in areas that are easily accessible during normal occupancy. If major refurbishment or demolition work is planned, a more intrusive Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is required.
