Backed by decades of experience and a team of highly qualified asbestos surveyors, we deliver comprehensive, practical, and compliant surveys to clients in the commercial, industrial, public, and residential sectors.
Types of Asbestos Surveys We Offer
At Spectra, our surveyors are not just P402 qualified. They also have the practical experience and technical expertise needed to produce reliable, compliant, and actionable reports.
Management Survey
A Management Survey, formerly Type 1 and Type 2, is a standard inspection designed to identify, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupancy, maintenance, or daily activities. It also assesses the condition and risk associated with any identified materials, supporting the development or revision of an asbestos management plan, a legal obligation under CAR 2012 for duty holders.
Refurbishment and Demolition Survey
A Refurbishment and Demolition Survey, formerly Type 3, is a comprehensive invasive inspection carried out before any work that could disturb the building structure. Its purpose is to locate and identify all asbestos-containing materials within the surveyed area, as far as reasonably achievable. These surveys are only performed in unoccupied spaces and often involve aggressive methods, such as penetrating walls, floors, ceilings, and other structural elements to access hidden materials.
