Why Do Businesses Need an Asbestos Survey?
Any non-domestic property built before 2000 may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). If disturbed, asbestos can release dangerous fibers that lead to severe health conditions, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
As a business owner, landlord, or property manager, you have a legal duty to manage asbestos risks under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A professional asbestos survey helps you:
✅ Identify asbestos risks in your building
✅ Meet legal obligations to protect employees and visitors
✅ Avoid fines and legal action for non-compliance
✅ Plan safe renovations or demolitions

Ensure safe handling and regular re-inspections of asbestos-containing materials
Failing to comply can result in fines, legal penalties, and increased risks to health.

Our Asbestos Survey Services for Businesses

1. Asbestos Management Surveys
Required for all non-domestic properties to locate and assess asbestos-containing materials. This survey ensures compliance and helps manage asbestos safely over time.
2. Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys
Mandatory before any renovation, refurbishment, or demolition work. This survey identifies hidden asbestos so it can be safely removed before construction begins.
3. Re-Inspection Surveys
If your property already has an asbestos management plan, we provide re-inspection surveys to monitor any changes and ensure ongoing compliance.
