Asbestos Management Surveys:
An asbestos management survey is designed to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials within occupied buildings. The survey helps dutyholders comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 by providing an asbestos register and information required to safely manage asbestos during normal occupation and routine maintenance.

Refurbishment Asbestos Surveys:
If refurbishment or alteration works are planned, a refurbishment asbestos survey should be completed before work begins. These intrusive surveys identify asbestos-containing materials likely to be disturbed during the proposed works, helping protect contractors and ensuring compliance with current legislation.

Demolition Asbestos Surveys:
A demolition asbestos survey is required before a building, or part of a building, is demolished. These fully intrusive surveys are designed to identify all asbestos-containing materials, as far as reasonably practicable, enabling their safe removal before demolition commences.

Asbestos Re-Inspection Surveys:
Known or presumed asbestos-containing materials should be periodically inspected to confirm they remain in a satisfactory condition. Our asbestos re-inspection surveys update your asbestos register and help ensure asbestos continues to be managed safely.

Asbestos Sampling & Testing:
If you're unsure whether a material contains asbestos, representative samples can be safely taken and submitted to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Sampling provides certainty before refurbishment, demolition or maintenance works commence.

Asbestos Management Plans:
An asbestos management plan provides the practical arrangements required to manage asbestos safely within non-domestic premises. It supports dutyholders in meeting their legal responsibilities by detailing inspection frequencies, communication procedures and emergency arrangements.

Asbestos Waste Collection & Disposal:
Following asbestos removal works, waste should be transported and disposed of in accordance with current hazardous waste legislation. We provide compliant asbestos waste collection and disposal services for domestic, commercial and industrial clients throughout the UK.

Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal:
Certain lower-risk asbestos-containing materials can be removed without the need for a licensed asbestos contractor, provided the work falls within the scope of non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work. We undertake selected non-licensed asbestos removal works in accordance with current legislation and industry guidance.
