Asbestos surveys and management
The right survey for the work, sampled properly, analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory and checked by a second surveyor before it is issued.
Our asbestos surveyors hold the BOHS P402 qualification and survey to HSG264. Every report is checked by a second competent surveyor before it is issued, and every sample is analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Because our surveys feed straight into removal and fire-stopping programmes, we write them so that a contracts manager can plan from them: clear locations, marked-up plans, photographs and a recommendation for every item.
What we do
- Management surveys for buildings in normal use
- Refurbishment and demolition surveys before work disturbs the fabric
- Targeted surveys of risers and voids ahead of fire-stopping work
- Re-inspections and asbestos registers across a whole estate
- Asbestos management plans
- Sampling and air monitoring arranged with independent UKAS-accredited laboratories and analysts

Which asbestos survey do we need?
A management survey is for a building in normal use, to manage any asbestos in place. A refurbishment or demolition survey is needed before any work that disturbs the fabric, and it is intrusive in the areas being worked on. We will advise which you need before you book.
Who checks the report?
Every report is checked by a second competent surveyor before it is issued, and all samples are analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory.
How quickly will we get the report?
It depends on the size of the job and the laboratory turnaround. On a housing refurbishment programme we turned reports round in five to seven days.
Can you survey occupied homes?
Yes. We book by appointment, work in pairs, seal every sample point before leaving and keep disruption to a minimum.
