Asbestos Management Surveys that give you a legally defensible register
For duty holders responsible for non-domestic buildings - especially anything built before 2000. UKAS-accredited surveys satisfying Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.


What's included in this service
An asbestos management survey identifies the presence, location and condition of asbestos-containing materials in your building. If your premises predate 2000, the law presumes asbestos unless a survey proves otherwise. We prove it, either way.

Survey every accessible area
Your surveyor inspects every accessible area - roof spaces, risers, plant rooms, floor tiles, pipe insulation and ceiling voids - taking bulk samples of suspected ACMs for UKAS-accredited lab analysis. You leave with a verified picture of where asbestos is, in what condition, on annotated site plans.
A register contractors accept
You get an Asbestos Register covering every identified ACM, its location, condition and risk rating - the first document contractors and inspectors ask for. Prioritised remedial actions rank encapsulation, removal or management by risk. Clear, defensible, ready to hand over.
Know who's responsible and what to do next
A written Asbestos Management Plan with monitoring schedules, re-inspection dates, labelling and procedures for anyone disturbing the building fabric. An annual condition re-inspection schedule tracks degradation. A 30-minute walkthrough ensures every finding is understood.

Sector-specific compliance
Builders Merchants
Older merchant premises often have asbestos-cement roofs and canopies that predate 2000, which means asbestos is presumed present until proven otherwise. Our management survey locates and assesses it to meet the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Warehousing & Logistics
The older industrial units logistics operators take on often hide asbestos in roof sheets and lagging, which racking installs can easily disturb. Where work will disturb the fabric, our refurbishment or demolition survey identifies it before anything starts, as the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require.

Manufacturing & Engineering
Older factories carry asbestos in lagging, gaskets, boards and roofs, where routine maintenance can disturb it. Our management survey gives you a defensible register your contractors can work to, as the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require.

Garden Centres
Garden centres often occupy older glasshouses and converted buildings fitted with asbestos-cement roofing and panels. With staff and the public on site every day, our management survey assesses the condition of those materials to meet the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Metal Stockholders
Stockholding sheds often have asbestos-cement roofing that impact, vibration and roof work can disturb, and any premises built before 2000 is presumed to contain it. Our management survey establishes what's there to meet the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Childcare & Nurseries
Many nurseries operate from converted houses, churches or offices that predate 2000 and are therefore likely to contain asbestos. With children on site every day, our management survey identifies and assesses it under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Competent Person actually do?
A Competent Person takes legal responsibility for your H&S compliance. That covers risk assessments, audits, policy, training coordination and regulatory compliance. You get accountability for getting it done, not advice you have to action yourself.
Can you work alongside our existing H&S team?
Yes. Many clients use us to extend their internal capability - specialist assessments, regulatory liaison, and Competent Person cover during absences. We support your team, not replace them.
How quickly can you start?
One-off projects can typically be scheduled within days. Partnership clients have a named consultant operational within two to three weeks. Urgent situation - an HSE inspection notice, for example - we mobilise faster.
What makes your sector specialists different from generic consultants?
A generic consultant applies standard regulations. Our specialists know the specific hazards common in your industry and the enforcement priorities that apply to it. For builders merchants, that means forklift operations around public access. For childcare, it means Ofsted compliance alongside workplace safety. For warehousing, it means racking inspections and shift-pattern risk.
What's the difference between the Partnership, one-off projects, and Compliance Cloud?
The Partnership gives you a named Competent Person who manages compliance end-to-end. One-off projects deliver specific services without ongoing commitment. Compliance Cloud is the software platform for real-time compliance management. Many clients combine them.
