FAQs:
-
When is a refurbishment survey needed?
Before any work that may disturb the fabric of the building, such as: -
Refurbishment: knocking through walls, replacing ceilings, rewiring, plumbing upgrades, reconfiguring spaces
-
Structural changes: removing partitions, roofing works, floor replacement
-
Demolition: full or partial
Even minor refurbishments (like chasing into walls or lifting floorboards) require this survey if ACMs might be disturbed.
-
Why is it required?
To identify and locate all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the area where the work will happen—so they can be safely removed or managed before the work starts.
Key Features of a Refurbishment Survey:
-
Fully intrusive and destructive (as needed to access all possible ACMs)
-
Can be conducted in the specific areas where work will take place
-
Must be done by a competent surveyor
​
-
What’s the difference from a management survey?
The main difference between an asbestos management survey and an asbestos refurbishment survey lies in their purpose, level of intrusion, and when they are required.
