Surveys
Asbestos management survey in Liverpool
A management survey finds and records asbestos that could be disturbed during normal use of a building. It is the standard survey for landlords, offices, shops, schools and common areas.
If you manage or own a non-domestic building in Liverpool, you have a legal duty to manage asbestos. A management survey is how you find out where it is and what condition it is in, so you can keep a register and a plan.
A BOHS P402 qualified surveyor inspects accessible areas, takes small samples of suspect materials and sends them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory. You receive a written report with locations, material types, condition and a priority score for each item, usually within 24 to 48 hours of sampling.
