- Frequently asked questions about asbestos surveys
Asbestos can pose serious health risks. It is dangerous when loose fibres from asbestos-containing materials are inhaled. For this reason, the government banned the use of asbestos in construction in 1993. However, buildings dating from before then may still contain asbestos. Asbestos cannot always be seen or identified with the naked eye. You should therefore have an asbestos survey carried out by a specialist company. This page provides more information about the average cost of an asbestos survey, how the price is made up and the different types of survey.
How much does an asbestos survey cost?
To avoid unpleasant financial surprises, you will want an indication of the expected costs.
The table below shows average asbestos survey costs for a typical home. These prices are indicative only. Final survey costs may differ and vary between companies.
| Average asbestos survey costs, including VAT | |||
| Survey type | From | To | Additional information |
| Type 0 | € 125 | € 225 | Preliminary identification: a visual assessment of whether materials may contain asbestos. |
| Survey (former designation: type A) | € 400 | € 600 | Lightly intrusive investigation: an inspection for asbestos in directly visible materials. A sample of the material is tested for asbestos in a laboratory. |
| Further investigation (formerly called type B) | € 750 | € 1.500 | Heavily intrusive investigation: an inspection for asbestos that is not directly visible. Demolition and opening-up work are often unavoidable. |
| Additional sample | € 50 | € 70 | Ask how many material samples and analyses the quotation includes and what rate applies to additional investigation. |

What affects the price of an asbestos survey?
The exact quotation price depends on several factors. The following elements determine the cost of an asbestos survey.
Survey type
The scope and purpose of the investigation determine the cost. The older terms in the table are not a menu for choosing the required survey yourself. The survey must cover the part of the building being renovated or demolished.
Additional options
Record in the quotation how many sample analyses are included and when additional investigation will be charged. The number of suspect materials and their accessibility can affect the final cost.
Many companies can also remove asbestos straight away if it is found. The associated asbestos removal costs will be charged for this work.
SIZE OF THE BUILDING
The cost of an asbestos survey depends partly on the size of the property and/or the area to be inspected. The average costs in the table above are based on a typical home. If you only want one area inspected, such as a garden shed or bathroom, the cost will be lower. If you need a large commercial property inspected, the survey costs will probably be higher.
ACCESSIBILITY OF THE ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIAL
A quotation also takes account of how accessible the asbestos-containing material is. Demolition and breaking work may be needed to reach difficult areas. If considerable effort and/or tools are required to reach the material to be inspected, the price increases, as the inspector will need more time to conduct a thorough survey.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE
There are several reasons you might need an asbestos survey report urgently, such as applying for an environmental permit to demolish or renovate your home. An urgent asbestos survey can cost more. Please also bear in mind that not every company can accommodate such a request.

What does an asbestos survey involve?
An asbestos survey comprises several elements. The largest share is devoted to the investigation. Part of the cost covers the survey work, and the remainder covers preparing the asbestos survey report.
Surveying
Before a specialist from a certified asbestos surveying company visits the site, they carry out what is known as desk research. They investigate the available information, such as drawings, floor plans and specifications, to establish the building's history. The year of construction, for example, already reveals a great deal. Examining aerial photographs also forms part of this desk research.
Investigation
A specialist surveyor examines the building on site for asbestos. Suspect materials are sampled and analysed further in a specialist laboratory. For demolition or renovation, a visual inspection is supplemented by a destructive survey. This often involves opening up or breaking out parts of the building.
Reporting
After analysis, the findings are recorded in an asbestos survey report. This specifies exactly who carried out the work, which building was inspected and which parts were examined. It also states what type of survey was performed and its results.

Which assessments are needed?
A material sample is taken on site and sent for laboratory analysis. This makes it relatively straightforward to establish whether asbestos-containing material has been found.
Have the asbestos survey report checked to ensure it is suitable for the intended work and the required notification or application.
Additional investigation
If the report identifies limitations and your work will affect hidden areas, further investigation may be needed. Agree in advance who will make these areas safely accessible and who will carry out any repairs afterwards.
Give the relevant report to the contractor before work starts and discuss any restrictions.
What customers say about Sloop Concurrent
Sloop Concurrent would be nowhere without its customers. This is what our customers have to say about us.
How can you save on costs?
An asbestos survey is therefore compulsory in many cases. This may leave you facing costs you had not anticipated. There are various ways to keep asbestos survey costs as low as possible.
Choosing a local asbestos surveying company
When looking for an asbestos surveying company, we recommend choosing one nearby. This can significantly reduce its travel charges. Average travel charges are approximately € 0,75,- per kilometre and can mount up considerably.
Having an item tested for asbestos
Because asbestos cannot always be identified with the naked eye, testing a sample before an asbestos survey can sometimes be useful. A piece of material can be sent to a laboratory for asbestos testing, providing the necessary certainty about whether asbestos is present. For your own safety, we recommend having a specialist take the sample. The average cost of sample analysis is € 60,-.
Bear in mind that if you plan to demolish or renovate, sample analysis alone is not enough. You must always be able to provide an asbestos survey report.
Sloop Concurrent: certifications and insurance
When you ask Sloop Concurrent to carry out your demolition work, you can look forward to a pleasant working relationship. Sloop Concurrent is well insured. We hold CAR insurance, or Construction All Risks insurance, covering material damage arising during the construction or installation of buildings, roads, bridges and systems. We have never had to make a claim on this insurance, but we prefer to be on the safe side.
Sloop Concurrent is also an accredited training company, training the skilled tradespeople of the future. All our demolition workers are trained in-house, and we do not subcontract our work. This is reflected both in the total cost and in the final result.
Asbestos must always be considered when demolishing structures. We therefore hold dNAA certification, which allows us to remove asbestos. We do so safely and responsibly.
