What is an Asbestos Survey?

An asbestos survey is a building survey designed to identify if a premises contains any asbestos products.

How are Asbestos Surveys carried out?

A qualified, experienced asbestos surveyor would survey all the areas/rooms of the building and use his experience to determine if any products may contain asbestos. If the surveyor suspects a product/material may contain asbestos, he would then take a small sample; this is analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory using powerful microscopes to determine if asbestos fibres are present.

When is an Asbestos Survey needed?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so any commercial building built before 2000 legally requires an asbestos management plan. An asbestos survey determines whether the property contains any asbestos materials/products and is the basis for the management plan.

What kind of asbestos surveys are there?

There are two types of surveys.

An Asbestos Management Survey aids in daily building management and is a non-intrusive survey and would cover all accessible areas of the building. The survey is used to prepare an asbestos management plan, showing the location, type and condition of any asbestos products and making individual recommendations for ongoing management.

An Asbestos Refurbishment/Demolition Survey is called an R&D survey. This type of survey is undertaken before the refurbishment or demolition of a building or area of a building. An R & D survey is fully intrusive and may cause damage to the building fabric, as the asbestos surveyor must access all areas of the proposed refurbishment.

Do Commercial Properties need an asbestos survey?

Not all businesses can be located in new buildings, so more old buildings are being used, reconfigured and refurbished to accommodate these businesses. Buildings constructed before 2000 will require an asbestos survey.

Asbestos in the Home

Asbestos was commonly used in properties from the 1950s to the 1980s.

If you plan to move to the Hull area or are relocating within Hull, you would be wise to have the property checked for asbestos, whether it’s a commercial property or a house.

What is Asbestos Found In?

Asbestos is chemically resistant to heat and fire and does not dissolve in water.

It could be woven and used as textiles.

Calcium silicate was added to asbestos to form an insulation board called AIB, commonly found in ceiling tiles and partitions.

Asbestos insulation was used extensively in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s for pipe and boiler insulation and sprayed onto steelwork as fire protection.

Asbestos paper can be found on fibreboard ceiling tiles as a decorative face, backing for floor coverings, and a lining below glass fibre insulation.

Textured coating – Artex – Chrysotile (white asbestos) was added to decorative coatings to give strength to the product.

When was Asbestos Banned in the UK?

1985: Amphibole asbestos (Amosite & Crocidolite) was banned in the UK in 1985, with the Asbestos Licencing Regime coming into force; this made it illegal to buy, sell or trade any product containing Amosite or Crocidolite. And seeing the birth of the Asbestos Licenced Contractor in effect, they needed a license to work with a prohibited substance.

1999: Chrysotile (White Asbestos) was banned in 1999. A total ban on any asbestos being used in the UK. This means it is illegal to buy, sell or trade any Asbestos product in the Uk (Including giving it away).

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a mineral

Chrysotile White Asbestos was mined in various countries worldwide, including Italy, Cyprus, the USA, Canada, South America, South Africa, Australia, Turkey, China and Russia. This type of asbestos is a serpentine fibre (curly).

Amosite (Brown Asbestos) can only be found in South Africa, hence the name Amosite (Asbestos Mines of South Africa). This type of asbestos is an amphibole, a needle-like fibre.

Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos) was mined in South Africa, South America and Australia. This type of asbestos is an amphibole, a needle-like fibre.

Some think that Crocidolite and Amosite are more dangerous than Chrysotile due to the needle-like fibre.

Is asbestos still produced?

In 2021

Russia produced 700,000 metric tonnes of asbestos.

Kazakhstan produced 250,000 metric tonnes of asbestos.

China produced 120,000 metric tonnes of asbestos.

Brazil produced 110,000 metric tonnes of asbestos.

Zimbabwe produced 10,000 metric tonnes of asbestos.

How are Asbestos Surveys carried out?

A qualified, experienced asbestos surveyor would look in all the areas/rooms of the building, including the external and roof and ceiling voids, and use his experience to determine if any products may contain asbestos. If the surveyor suspects a product/material may contain asbestos, he would then take a small sample; this is analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory using powerful microscopes to determine if asbestos fibres are present.

When is an Asbestos Survey needed?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so any commercial building built before 2000 legally requires an asbestos management plan. An asbestos survey determines whether the property contains any asbestos materials/products and is the basis for the asbestos management plan.

What kind of asbestos surveys are there?

There are two types of surveys.

An Asbestos Management Survey aids in daily building management and is a non-intrusive survey and would cover all accessible areas of the building. The survey is used to prepare an asbestos management plan, showing the location, type and condition of any asbestos products and making individual recommendations on the ongoing management of these products.

An Asbestos Refurbishment/Demolition Survey is called an R & D survey. This type of survey is undertaken before the refurbishment or demolition of a building or area of a building. An R & D survey is fully intrusive and may cause damage to the building fabric, as the asbestos surveyor must access all areas of the proposed refurbishment.

Asbestos is a mineral

Chrysotile White Asbestos was mined in various countries worldwide, including Italy, Cyprus, the USA, Canada, South America, South Africa, Australia, Turkey, China and Russia. This type of asbestos is a serpentine fibre (curly).

Amosite (Brown Asbestos) can only be found in South Africa, hence the name Amosite (Asbestos Mines of South Africa). This type of asbestos is an amphibole, a needle-like fibre.

Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos) was mined in South Africa, South America and Australia. This type of asbestos is an amphibole, a needle-like fibre.

Some think that Crocidolite and Amosite are more dangerous than Chrysotile due to the needle-like fibre.
