How much is an asbestos survey​?

Asbestos survey prices are highly rely on the upcoming project you have.
​
Size, age and the type of the property are playing the main roles when it comes to measure the cost of asbestos survey.
*You need to know management asbestos survey cost average 30% less than the destructive inspection like the demolition survey.

​AGE
​
To run an inspection on an older property will cost more money generally speaking because of the more asbestos can be found there. The property that was built in the '90s can cost significantly less than the older building from the '60s for example. Asbestos was widely used in the '50s & '60s. They used it for floor tiles, ceiling tiles, even used it for painting decorations called Artex. Clearly, in these old properties, we need to take samples from more location.

SIZE - NUMBER OF ROOMS

This is not as people usually think. Size of the property doesn't change that much. But the number of rooms does. A competent surveyor has to register every room on the site.

​Floorplan of the property can give us a clearer picture of the cost of the work. It contains a number of rooms and floors. For instance, a large warehouse that has 3 rooms cost less then an 5 times smaller office building if the office building has a lot more rooms, floors, sub floors, ceiling voids. All of these add up during the survey and takes more time and probably more sampling too.

Asbestos survey types

R&D ASBESTOS SURVEY - type 3 asbestos survey
Refurbishment and demolition survey has to be completed before any kind of major construction work or demolition. Either we are talking about a domestic building or commercial property. The survey needs to contain the precise location but not the condition of the fabrics (ACM) that contain asbestos in any form. This inspection disturbs asbestos-containing materials which results in air pollution. No one allowed to be on the premises apart of expert contractors and surveyors during the process. Once the survey is done they have to certify the building with a sign of 'fit for reoccupation'.

Another name type 2 asbestos survey which requires less time and usually it is a non-intrusive process. With this type of audit, the expert surveyor suspect acm in the property and carefully estimate its condition. If the premises are easy and straightforward to survey the duty holder is allowed to do the management survey; otherwise, you need a competent surveyor. The management report is a must on industrial and commercial properties by the law.

It is a very important procedure where the property is under inspection. The goal is to identify the location of suspected asbestos containing material and provide detailed information about quantity, the type of asbestos and it's condition.
