Property Types We Work In

Asbestos is still commonly found in schools built before 2000 — in ceiling tiles, pipe lagging, sprayed coatings, and floor coverings. 

Dutyholders (often local authorities, academy trusts, or governors) must comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
We provide surveys, management plans, and re-inspections tailored to schools, ensuring information is accessible to staff, contractors, and the HSE. Our work minimises disruption to teaching and keeps staff and pupils safe.

Many offices contain asbestos in ceiling voids, partition walls, and service ducts. Employers and landlords have a legal duty to manage asbestos to protect employees and visitors.

We help businesses remain compliant by carrying out surveys, setting up registers and management plans, and ensuring that contractors (such as IT installers, electricians, or facilities teams) receive the right asbestos information before they start work.

Factories and warehouses often contain higher-risk asbestos materials such as insulation boards, sprayed coatings, and asbestos cement sheeting. These environments also involve regular maintenance and refurbishment activities, which increases the chance of disturbance.

We carry out detailed surveys and compliance audits to keep maintenance teams, contractors, and staff safe — and to help site managers demonstrate legal compliance to regulators and insurers.

Hospitals, clinics, and care homes often contain asbestos in plant rooms, boiler houses, and service ducts. Because these are sensitive environments with vulnerable occupants, asbestos management is critical.

We provide careful surveys, management plans, and re-inspections to ensure safety without disrupting vital healthcare services.

Shops, hotels, and leisure centres are high-footfall environments where asbestos may be present in ceilings, floor tiles, and service areas. Any disturbance could impact staff, customers, and business continuity.

Our surveys and compliance audits help retailers and hospitality operators manage their asbestos risks discreetly and effectively, keeping premises safe and open for business.

In flats, sheltered housing, and social housing, asbestos is frequently found in risers, service cupboards, textured coatings, and floor tiles. Landlords and housing associations are dutyholders under CAR 2012 and must protect tenants and contractors.

We support housing providers by carrying out surveys, re-inspections, and updating asbestos registers so that information is available to maintenance teams 24/7.

Before any refurbishment or demolition work, the law requires a Refurbishment & Demolition Survey (R&D survey). This is the most intrusive type of asbestos survey and is essential to prevent accidental exposure.

We provide R&D surveys for construction projects of all sizes, ensuring asbestos is identified, recorded, and safely managed before work begins.

At Strata Asbestos Consultancy, we bring extensive experience across a wide range of property types — from schools, offices, and healthcare facilities through to industrial sites, retail spaces, housing associations, and demolition projects. Each environment presents unique challenges when it comes to asbestos management, and we understand how to adapt our approach to suit.

Our work is always guided by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) and the latest HSE guidance. We ensure surveys are carried out thoroughly, registers and management plans are kept up to date, and that accurate information is always available to those who need it.

By combining technical knowledge with practical solutions, we help dutyholders stay compliant, protect building users, and maintain safe, legally defensible workplaces. Whether you manage a single property or a large portfolio, you can trust Strata Asbestos Consultancy to deliver clear, independent advice and robust compliance support.
