What Communal Surveys Do We Offer?
We provide a full range of asbestos surveys for communal areas in accordance with HSE guidance. The survey type required depends on the building condition and the scope of planned works.
Management Surveys — Communal Areas
Identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within communal spaces and assesses their type, condition, and quantity. Findings help duty holders manage asbestos safely and meet legal obligations.
Refurbishment Surveys — Communal Areas
Required prior to refurbishment works. Fully intrusive within planned work areas to locate ACMs that could be disturbed during the project.
Demolition Surveys — Communal Areas
The most intrusive survey type. All areas affected by demolition are inspected to identify ACMs before works begin.
Reinspection Surveys — Communal Areas
Checks previously identified ACMs to confirm the condition and ensure safe management. Recommended every 6–12 months.
