There are three main types of asbestos survey in the UK that are in line with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. They are:

• Management – This is the standard type of asbestos survey, which is used for the purpose of managing asbestos within a building in a situation where no remedial works will need to be carried out.

• Demolition – Mainly carried out on older properties, a demolition asbestos survey is extremely intrusive and will involve the asbestos surveyors making damage as they need to in order to see exactly what the building is made from.

• Refurbishment – A refurbishment asbestos survey is carried out ahead of any intrusive work, so would typically be done ahead of a demolition survey. The refurbishment survey would identify what works will be needed and which areas of the property will be damaged during the inspection.

Similar principles apply to commercial properties as they do to domestic properties – if you’re dealing with a building that was constructed before 2000 then you need to carry out an asbestos survey.

Here’s a summary of which survey might be the most appropriate for your office move:

1. Your new office was built after 2000 – You probably don’t need to worry about an asbestos survey (but it’s always worth double checking with a local asbestos survey expert just to be safe)

2. Your new office was built pre-2000 and you don’t plan on doing any construction work – You’ll need a management asbestos survey to ensure that the building is fit for normal occupation of a building and that any potential asbestos is being safely managed.

3. Your new office was built pre-2000 and you do plan on doing construction work – You’ll need to organise a refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey before carrying out any construction work in the building (unless you have evidence to prove that there is definitely no asbestos present, due to prior removal or other evidence).

If you want or need to take a sample for asbestos testing, our first recommendation would be to hire UKAS-accredited asbestos testing services in the UK to take the sample for you.

Handling asbestos can be extremely hazardous and poses a health risk when disturbed, so involving an expert is always advisable.

However, if a piece of material that you think may contain asbestos has already broken off, you may be able to take the sample yourself – as long as there’s no risk of you spreading debris or exposing yourself to asbestos dust.

Here’s a summary of what to do:

1. Take care when walking on or around the sample material

2. Dampen the sample

3. Place the sample into a self-sealing polythene bag and seal it

4. Put that bag into a second self-sealing bag and seal it

5. Label the sample with the date and a description

6. Organise for the sample to be sent to a UKAS-accredited asbestos testing service

If you've already had an asbestos survey on your property, you won't normally need to repeat it - unless there's asbestos present and you plan to undertake work on your property.

In this case, you'll need a more detailed asbestos survey, known as a refurbishment or demolition asbestos survey.

That said, if asbestos is present in a commercial property, you'll need to regularly update your asbestos management plan to record all changes relating to asbestos in the building.
