Be aware all refurbishment and demolition projects must not proceed without a type 3 survey.
The HSE recommend: -
If you own, occupy, manage or have responsibilities for
non-domestic premises which may contain asbestos, you will
either have:
- a legal duty to manage the risk from this material; or
- a duty to co-operate with whoever manages that risk.
for more details of your duty to manage see:

Types of surveys: -
- Type 2 Survey (asbestos management survey)
This survey should be incorporated in to your companies' management of asbestos plan and is a requirement by HSE legislation
- Type 3 Survey (pre demolition / refurbishment survey)
This survey is vital for all demolition and refurbishment projects and is a requirement by HSE legislation.
