    If your property was built before 2000, asbestos may still be present and you may be legally required to arrange an asbestos survey.

    We provide professional asbestos surveys across:

    • Hertfordshire
    • Bedfordshire
    • Buckinghamshire
    • London
    • Nationwide UK coverage

    Whether you're a landlord, homeowner, developer, contractor or facilities manager, we deliver compliant, accurate, fast-turnaround asbestos reporting to keep your project safe and legally protected.

    What Is an Asbestos Survey?

    An asbestos survey is a structured inspection of a property to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess their condition, and determine risk.

    Asbestos was widely used in UK buildings until it was banned in 1999. It can still be found in:

    • Insulation boards and pipe lagging
    • Floor tiles and roofing sheets
    • Ceiling tiles and textured coatings

    Disturbing asbestos releases fibres that can cause serious illness.

    A professional survey ensures:

    • Legal compliance
    • Safe renovation or demolition
    • Protection for occupants and contractors

    When Do You Legally Need an Asbestos Survey?

    The governing legislation is the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

    If you are responsible for a non-domestic building built before 2000, you have a legal Duty to Manage asbestos.

    You will typically need a survey if:

    • You own or manage a commercial property
    • You are planning refurbishment or demolition
    • You are a landlord of a mixed-use building
    • You are commissioning structural alterations

    Failure to comply can result in unlimited fines and prosecution.
