Professional asbestos surveys in Cardiff for homes, rental properties, and commercial premises. Fast, accurate reports from experienced surveyors, fully compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Why you may need an asbestos survey in Cardiff
For many commercial properties in Cardiff built before 2000, building plans and architectural records often won't clearly state the materials used. An asbestos survey is an important step to ensure you comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations. If you are planning major refurbishments for an older property, a survey will allow you to plan your work with confidence and prevent costly delays that can be caused if asbestos is found after work has already started.
It's recommended to have an asbestos survey conducted before any renovation or demolition work. If you suspect asbestos is present in your Cardiff property, or are concerned about any potential hazards, a survey can identify issues before they become a problem.
What does an asbestos survey involve?
All asbestos surveys require sampling and testing to allow the asbestos content of materials to be assessed. This can involve some cutting, scraping, or drilling, and opening parts of your property that aren't normally accessible. Wherever possible, we will gain access by removing panels and tiles that can be replaced without damage.
Your survey report will provide a comprehensive list of the asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) identified and their location, along with photographs and an assessment of their condition. Depending on your requirements, you can also receive recommendations for safe management or removal of the ACMs identified.

Types of asbestos surveys in Cardiff
Management Survey
A management survey is the standard survey required to manage asbestos in a building during its normal occupation and use. It locates ACMs that could be damaged or disturbed during everyday activities and assesses their condition to help you manage them safely.
Refurbishment and Demolition Survey
A refurbishment or demolition survey is required before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place. It is more intrusive than a management survey and aims to locate all ACMs in the area to be refurbished or demolished, including those that may be hidden.
Commercial Asbestos Surveys in Cardiff
For commercial properties in Cardiff, an asbestos survey is not only best practice, in many cases it is a legal requirement. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the duty holder of a non-domestic premises must manage asbestos in their building.
