Common Questions
What is the difference between a demolition survey and a management survey?
A management survey is a standard survey for managing ACMs in an occupied building. A demolition survey is a more intrusive survey required before demolition or major refurbishment, designed to locate all ACMs including those in hidden locations. Demolition surveys involve destructive inspection of building elements.
Who can carry out a demolition survey?
Demolition surveys must be carried out by a competent surveyor holding a P402 qualification (or equivalent). Pro Asbestos Removal's surveyors are fully qualified and experienced in demolition survey work.
Is a demolition survey legally required?
Yes. Under CAR 2012, a demolition survey is legally required before any demolition or major refurbishment works. Failure to carry out a survey before demolition is a criminal offence under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
How long does a demolition survey take?
This depends on the size and complexity of the building. A typical domestic property survey takes half a day. A large commercial building survey may take 1–2 days. We will advise on the expected duration when booking.
How much does a demolition survey cost?
Costs depend on the size of the building and the number of samples required. A typical domestic demolition survey starts from around £350–£600. Contact us for a free quotation.
