Our accredited asbestos surveyors are experts in asbestos surveys of all types. Find our options below, or get in touch for a bespoke consultation.
We’re a UKAS-accredited Testing Laboratory and Inspection body no. 4155, offering the asbestos testing listed below. All asbestos samples are verified at one of our regional laboratories.
Asbestos re-inspection surveys are follow-up checks that are required after asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) have been identified. These surveys assess whether known materials have deteriorated.
A key part of an asbestos management plan, they’re recommended every 12 months as a minimum, but higher-risk premises may require these more frequently.
We can work with your own asbestos management database, or provide a data transfer/population service of existing survey information if required.
A refurbishment asbestos survey is often required if the information gathered during a management survey is insufficient ahead of building refurbishments.
As a pre-refurbishment asbestos survey is more intrusive than other survey types, damage may occur, but this is necessary in identifying risks. An asbestos removal contractor may be required to facilitate an inspection depending on the degree of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) found.
Our findings can form the basis of an asbestos removal programme, to amend a building refurbishment specification, or a mixture of both.

Asbestos management surveys identify asbestos in premises and, where applicable, establish a material assessment score and risk assessment. Our asbestos consultancy service can guide you through this process and all other required steps.
Management surveys are non-destructive, usually only checking beneath surface coatings (paint or wall coverings) for asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). To locate more hidden asbestos, a more intrusive survey is required, such as a demolition or refurbishment asbestos survey.
Management surveys are strongly recommended in buildings built prior to 2001 or where no architectural information on the use of ACMs is available.
Although similar in nature to refurbishment surveys, demolition asbestos surveys are more intrusive and require greater access.
The location, condition and extent of all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are recorded, providing it’s safe and practical to do so, to inform a removal specification.
However, given the nature of a pre-demolition asbestos survey, specialist equipment or contractors may be required. The premises must also be fully vacated before our surveys begin.
We define the requirements of the survey and agree on a timeline with you. Additional info is gathered and risk assessments are carried out before any works.
We liaise with all relevant stakeholders to ensure safety and minimal disruption. The survey is carried out in line with all compliance and safety requirements, with all findings fully documented. Where relevant, samples are also taken.
All findings, data and samples are reviewed and quality checked at one of our regional testing facilities. A structured report is then created and delivered to you, outlining our findings, evidence and recommended next steps. We also retain records for future reference.
We answer any questions and agree on next steps, which may involve repeat surveys, asbestos consultancy or coordinating asbestos removal works.
