Management Asbestos Survey: What You Need to Know

A management asbestos survey is the most common type of survey for properties built before the year 2000. Its purpose is to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance activities.

This survey is non-intrusive and involves a visual inspection of the property, along with sampling of suspected ACMs. The results are documented in a report, which includes recommendations for managing or removing the asbestos.

Landlords, property managers, and homeowners are legally required to conduct a management survey if asbestos is suspected. Failure to do so can result in fines or legal action.

By identifying and managing asbestos risks, you can protect occupants and ensure compliance with UK regulations. If you’re unsure whether your property needs a survey, consult a certified asbestos surveyor today.
