Managing Your Asbestos Responsibilities
If you are a duty holder, you are legally required to manage asbestos risks in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012.
Effective asbestos management is essential to protect building occupants, the wider environment, and your organisation from potential exposure risks.
Any building constructed before 2000 may contain asbestos. For this reason, asbestos surveys are legally required for non-domestic buildings, as well as prior to any refurbishment or intrusive works.
Our Asbestos Services
We provide a full range of asbestos services to support compliance, risk management, and safe building operation.
Asbestos Bulk Sampling
Unsure whether a material contains asbestos?
We offer on-site bulk sampling to identify suspected asbestos-containing materials.
-
Samples analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory
-
Fast, reliable results to support decision-making
-
Minimal disruption to your premises
All work is carried out in accordance with HSG 264 – The Survey Guide by competent, experienced professionals.
Asbestos Condition Inspections (Re-Inspections)
An asbestos re-inspection survey allows duty holders to monitor the condition of previously identified asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and maintain ongoing compliance.
Over time, ACMs can deteriorate or become damaged, increasing the risk to health. Regular inspections ensure materials remain in a safe condition and that control measures are still effective.
Key points:
-
Required where an existing asbestos survey or register is in place
-
Supports ongoing compliance and risk management
-
Provides clear, up-to-date condition reporting
Our surveys give you accurate, practical information to help manage asbestos safely and effectively.
Asbestos Management Surveys
An Asbestos Management Survey is a legal requirement for duty holders managing non-domestic premises.
The purpose of this survey is to identify and assess ACMs that could be disturbed during normal day-to-day use, including routine maintenance or general occupancy.
Typically includes areas such as:
-
Light fittings
-
Loft spaces
-
Suspended ceilings
-
Accessible service areas
These surveys are non-destructive, involving minimal disturbance, and are designed to assess materials in accessible areas.
What you’ll receive:
-
Identification and location of ACMs
-
Material and condition assessment
-
Risk assessment of potential fibre release
-
Clear, practical recommendations
This enables you to prioritise actions and maintain full compliance.
When Is a Different Survey Required?
While a Management Survey is suitable for routine use and light maintenance, more intrusive works require a different approach.
A Refurbishment or Demolition Survey is required when:
-
Refurbishment works are planned
-
Structural alterations are taking place
-
Intrusive maintenance is required
Asbestos Refurbishment Surveys
A Pre-Refurbishment Asbestos Survey is essential before any refurbishment or demolition work begins.
This survey uses intrusive inspection methods to identify all ACMs, including those hidden within the building structure.
The aim is to ensure asbestos is identified and managed or removed safely before works commence.
Your report will include:
-
Location of all identified ACMs
-
Condition and risk assessment
-
Materials requiring removal or treatment
-
Clear recommendations and next steps
This ensures works can proceed safely, compliantly, and without unexpected delays.
