Guide to the Different Types of Asbestos Surveys

Newcastle asbestos

Have you recently experienced any problem of respiratory, coughing, neck or face swelling? If yes, you should get a check for the presence of asbestos fibres done. The fibrous material is known to cause many health-related issues on inhalation. Besides, you might not see any symptoms but still, there are reasons that would require you to get the inspection done. Whatever the reason be for the inspection, here’re different asbestos surveys you should know.

  • Refurbishment Asbestos Survey: This survey will generally look at your property in detail to find if there are any materials containing asbestos. The material might not appear until demolishment or refurbishment work starts. The surveyor will likely disassemble and dismantle furnishings during the process to get samples from partitions, walls, and under floorboards. Although hectic, this approach is worth the health risks it could help you avoid.
  • Management Asbestos Survey: In this, your property is regularly inspected to find if there’s any asbestos present. Surveyors might find, monitor, and leave some samples with asbestos as they won’t pollute and disturb the air. This survey uses particular equipment and tools to access surface ducts, ceilings, and other specific areas.
  • Demolition Asbestos Survey: Before you begin demolition of a building, this survey is essential. That’s because there might be construction materials deep down with asbestos content. Such materials don’t come to the front and pollute the environment until demolished.

Whatever the case be, you should always hire a professional team to inspect for the presence of asbestos in Newcastle on your property.
