At ACS Surveyors, we provide professional Asbestos Surveys for both residential and commercial properties across Lancashire. Our surveys are designed to help clients identify, manage, and comply with their legal responsibilities in relation to asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within buildings.

Background of Asbestos Use Within Buildings

Asbestos was widely used in construction until the late 20th century, and many properties still contain materials that can pose serious health risks if disturbed. Our qualified surveyors carry out thorough inspections in accordance with current regulations, providing clear and accurate reports that detail the type, location, and condition of any asbestos identified.

Management Surveys

A Management Survey is the standard survey required for the routine occupation and maintenance of a property. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and condition of any ACMs that could be disturbed during normal building use or minor maintenance work. The survey provides essential information to enable property owners, landlords, and duty holders to manage asbestos safely and comply with their ongoing legal obligations.

Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

A Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) Survey is required when a building, or part of it, is due to be upgraded, refurbished, or demolished. This survey is fully intrusive and involves sampling materials that may be disturbed during the planned works. The aim is to ensure that all ACMs likely to be affected are identified before construction begins, allowing for their safe removal or management in accordance with legal and safety requirements.

Our approach is professional, efficient, and fully compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, ensuring that property owners, landlords, and duty holders meet their obligations and maintain a safe environment for occupants and contractors alike.

If you are planning refurbishment works, managing a property portfolio, or simply need peace of mind regarding asbestos risks, contact ACS Surveyors to arrange a compliant and reliable asbestos survey.
