Asbestos is a mineral made up of fibrous silicates. It was once used widely in buildings and other products because its fibres are resistant to heat, fire, and electricity. Asbestos occurs naturally but can also be found in mines or after an industrial accident, and it’s commonly present in buildings built before 1980.
More recent research has linked exposure to asbestos to serious health risks such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. If you manage or own an older property, identifying and managing any asbestos-containing materials is a critical safety and legal responsibility.
- Certified Surveyors
- UKAS Accredited Lab
- Same-Day Booking
- Nationwide Coverage
We first identify the areas and materials within a property likely to contain asbestos, then collect samples from these suspected materials to analyse their composition and assess the associated health risks. This determines the necessity and scope of any remedial measures required to manage and mitigate asbestos exposure.

Areas and Materials Inspected
An asbestos management survey systematically examines the areas and materials most likely to contain asbestos, using safe handling protocols throughout to guarantee minimal disturbance and maximum protection.
Structural Components
Beams, columns and other structural supports assessed with advanced inspection techniques.
Insulation Materials
Thermal system insulation identified and handled using strict safety protocols.
Flooring & Ceiling Tiles
Frequently disturbed areas inspected with minimal disturbance to prevent fibre release.
HVAC Systems
Ductwork and flue pipes checked for asbestos used as insulation material.
Is an Asbestos Survey a Legal Requirement for Residential Properties?
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, landlords and managers of shared residential properties in England are assigned certain duties. These regulations mandate undertaking asbestos management surveys to identify and manage asbestos-containing materials in common areas of residential buildings.
While private, non-shared residences aren’t typically subject to this requirement, shared housing and rental properties must comply to guarantee safety and legal adherence.
If you manage or are responsible for non-domestic buildings, an asbestos management survey isn’t just advisable — it’s a requirement. A proper management plan guarantees that occupants and workers are protected from the potential hazards of asbestos exposure.
Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to serious penalties and, more importantly, put occupants and workers at risk of asbestos-related illness. Regular surveys keep you compliant and protect everyone who uses the building.

- Continual Review and Monitoring as conditions change
Sampling is a critical part of an asbestos management survey, guaranteeing that we accurately identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). We employ rigorous sampling techniques and adhere to established safety protocols to mitigate exposure risks. Each sample undergoes precise material analysis in certified laboratories, determining the asbestos type and concentration.
We assess the condition of ACMs, accessibility, and potential for fibre release, prioritising areas with higher risk due to deteriorated materials or frequent human activity — supporting long-term safety and minimising the health impacts associated with asbestos exposure.
How We Identify Asbestos-Containing Materials
Visual Inspection
Trained professionals perform initial assessments to visually identify potential ACMs.
Sampling & Laboratory Analysis
Samples are collected and sent to accredited labs using PLM or TEM to confirm composition.
Review of Building Plans
We analyse construction documents and historical records to identify likely ACM locations.
Ongoing Monitoring
Continuous monitoring and periodic reassessment keep evaluations valid as conditions change.
Certified Reporting
Clear, actionable reports that prioritise remedial actions and support legal compliance.
Early symptoms of asbestos exposure often appear trivial, but they can escalate as the duration of exposure increases, leading to more severe respiratory issues. Prolonged contact with asbestos fibres greatly heightens the risk of developing serious diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, or mesothelioma.
Persistent Cough
A continuous dry cough that doesn't resolve over weeks may signal irritation from asbestos fibres.
Shortness of Breath
Difficulty breathing during activity or at rest as fibres impede lung function and capacity.
Chest Tightness & Wheezing
Inflammation of the lungs and pleural lining causing discomfort, tightness and unusual breathing sounds.
Asbestos dangers aren’t immediate, but cumulative, affecting lung tissue and leading to diseases like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. These conditions don’t manifest until decades after the initial exposure, which complicates diagnosis and treatment and emphasises the importance of early detection and prevention.
Determining the frequency of asbestos management surveys depends on building age and usage. A significant percentage of UK properties built before 2000 may contain asbestos, so it’s essential to assess whether a survey is justified for your property. Regular surveys comply with safety regulations and guarantee the ongoing protection of occupants from exposure risks.
