If you own, manage, or plan to renovate a property in Ballymoney, an asbestos survey is an essential step in protecting occupants, contractors, and anyone working within the building. Asbestos was widely used in construction materials across Northern Ireland until it was fully banned in 1999, meaning many properties built before 2000 may still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). A professional asbestos survey identifies the location, condition, and potential risk of ACMs, helping property owners comply with legal obligations and plan maintenance or refurbishment work safely. Management surveys are commonly used for occupied buildings, while refurbishment and demolition surveys are required before major structural work begins.
