Professional Asbestos Surveys Across Ireland

Asbestos survey costs in Ireland vary depending on property size, type, and accessibility. Residential surveys typically range from €200-€500, while commercial and industrial properties may cost more due to complexity and scale. We provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your specific property needs across all 32 Irish counties. Contact us today for accurate pricing and detailed assessment.

If your property was built before 2000, an asbestos survey is strongly recommended before any renovation, demolition, or property sale. Common asbestos-containing materials in Irish properties include: corrugated roof sheets, Artex ceiling coatings, floor tiles, insulation boards, cement products, and pipe lagging. Under Irish HSA regulations, duty holders must manage asbestos risks in non-domestic premises.

Survey duration depends on property size and complexity. A typical residential survey takes 2-4 hours, while larger commercial or industrial properties may require a full day or multiple visits. Laboratory analysis of samples takes 3-5 working days. We offer same-day site visits across Ireland and provide detailed written reports within 7 working days of completing the survey.

We provide professional asbestos surveys across all 32 Irish counties, including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, and all major cities, towns, and rural areas. Our HSA-licensed surveyors travel nationwide with typical response times of 24-48 hours for most locations. Same-day emergency surveys available in major urban areas.

Our comprehensive asbestos surveys include: detailed site inspection by HSA-licensed surveyors, representative sampling of suspected materials, accredited laboratory testing (PLM or SEM analysis), photographic evidence and location mapping, material condition assessment, risk ratings, full HSA-compliant written report, and clear recommendations for management, encapsulation, or removal. All surveys meet Irish Safety, Health and Welfare at Work regulations.

Management Surveys (Type 2) are for occupied buildings to locate and assess asbestos for ongoing management. They're less intrusive and suitable for normal property use. Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys (Type 3) are fully intrusive, conducted before major building work, and identify all asbestos in areas affected by the work. Demolition surveys cover the entire building. We recommend the appropriate survey type based on your specific needs and HSA requirements.

We offer rapid response times nationwide: same-day or next-day surveys in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford; 24-48 hour response in most other areas; and 2-3 day response for remote rural locations. Emergency surveys available for urgent construction projects or suspected asbestos damage. Contact us for specific availability in your area.

Yes, under Irish HSA regulations, all non-domestic premises built before 2000 must have an asbestos management plan, which requires an initial survey. This includes schools, universities, hospitals, government buildings, offices, and commercial premises. Duty holders (property owners/managers) are legally responsible for managing asbestos risks. We provide specialized surveys for educational and public sector buildings across Ireland.

If asbestos is identified during your survey, we provide a detailed report with: exact locations and photographic evidence, asbestos type identification (chrysotile, amosite, or crocidolite), material condition assessment (good, fair, poor), risk rating (low, medium, high), and clear recommendations (leave undisturbed with monitoring, encapsulation, or removal). We then provide a free, no-obligation quote for professional HSA-licensed removal or management services. Many properties contain asbestos that's safe when left undisturbed and properly managed.

Yes, we regularly survey rural properties, farmhouses, and agricultural buildings throughout Ireland. Common asbestos materials in rural properties include: corrugated asbestos cement roofing on outbuildings and barns, asbestos slate roofing on older farmhouses, asbestos guttering and downpipes, and asbestos insulation boards. We understand the unique challenges of rural properties and provide practical, cost-effective solutions for farm owners across all Irish counties.
