The Importance of Asbestos Surveys in Northern Ireland

Asbestos, once a popular building material, is now recognised as a serious health hazard. In Northern Ireland, many properties built before the year 2000 may still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). If you own or manage a property, an asbestos survey is not just a legal requirement—it’s a critical step in protecting lives. At Asbestos Solutions NI, we specialise in professional asbestos surveys across Northern Ireland, ensuring your property is safe and compliant.

Why Asbestos Surveys Matter

Asbestos fibres, when disturbed, can become airborne and cause severe health issues, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) mandates that duty holders, such as property owners or managers, must identify and manage asbestos risks. An asbestos survey provides a clear picture of where ACMs are located, their condition, and how to manage or remove them safely.

In Northern Ireland, regulations like the Control of Asbestos Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 require thorough assessments for non-domestic properties and communal areas of residential buildings. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines and, more importantly, endanger lives.

Types of Asbestos Surveys

• At Asbestos Solutions NI, we offer two main types of surveys:

• Management Surveys: Ideal for properties in regular use, these identify ACMs that could be disturbed during normal activities.

• Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys: Required before major renovations or demolitions, these are more intrusive to locate all ACMs.

Our team, based in Northern Ireland, tailors each survey to your property’s needs, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
