At Asbestos Surveys Asbestos, we carry out fully compliant asbestos management surveys for properties across the UK.

Whether you’re a dutyholder, property manager, landlord, or business owner, we help ensure your site meets the requirements of the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR 2012) by identifying and recording asbestos materials during normal occupation.

Why Is an Asbestos Management Survey Required?

An asbestos survey is required by law for the ongoing occupation of any non-domestic premises built before the year 2000.

The primary purpose is the identification of ACMs that may be present, so they can be effectively managed and monitored, reducing the risk of asbestos exposure. This survey plays an important role in protecting people, contractors, and visitors while meeting legal duty-of-care responsibilities.

What Should You Expect From the Asbestos Management Survey Report?

Our asbestos surveyors provide detailed reports that include:

• Location and condition of identified ACMs – Detailed descriptions of all asbestos-containing materials found.
• Annotated building plans – Diagrams showing the structure and exact position of each ACM.
• Photographic evidence – Images to support survey findings and aid future maintenance work.
• Risk categorisation – Assessment of the potential asbestos risks associated with each ACM.
• Management recommendations – Advice on safe abatement, precautions, or control measures.
• Restricted access notes – Details of any areas not accessed and recommendations for further inspection.
• Fast-tracked reporting – Reports available within 48 hours for urgent actions.

How Much Does an Asbestos Management Survey Cost?

The cost of an asbestos survey ranges from £250 to over £1,000, depending on the size and complexity of the property.

Costs are influenced by factors such as the number of rooms, accessibility to all areas, and whether the premises are commercial, industrial, or public sector. Urgent or same-day service may also affect pricing.

When Is an Asbestos Management Survey Legally Required?

An asbestos management survey is legally required for all non-domestic properties built before 2000, as part of the duty holders’ obligation to manage asbestos contamination under CAR 2012.

This includes workplaces, public buildings, and common areas of multi-occupancy structures. The survey must be kept up to date and reviewed regularly to ensure ongoing safety and health compliance.

What’s the Difference Between an Asbestos Management Survey and a Refurbishment Survey?

An asbestos management survey is non-intrusive and intended to identify ACMs during the normal use of a building, allowing them to be safely managed over time.

In contrast, a refurbishment work or demolition survey is intrusive and targets areas where planned works could disturb asbestos fibres. For refurbishment or demolition projects, a management survey alone is not sufficient, an R&D survey must be completed before work starts.

Can Asbestos Management Surveys Be Carried Out Quickly?

Our team of qualified asbestos surveyors can often attend at short notice to meet compliance deadlines.

We understand the importance of timely reporting for legal and operational requirements. Where needed, we provide fast-track sampling and analysis through UKAS-accredited laboratories, with full reports delivered within 24 to 48 hours.

How Do Surveyors Ensure Compliance With HSE Regulations?

All asbestos surveys are conducted by BOHS P402-qualified surveyors following HSG264 guidelines.

Our reports are designed to meet both legal and technical standards, ensuring the information can be used for asbestos management plans and risk assessment reviews in accordance with HSE requirements.

What Areas of a Property Are Inspected During an Asbestos Management Survey?

Asbestos management surveys require that we inspect all accessible areas of a property, including:

• Internal walls – Checked for ACMs within plaster, panels, or insulation.
• Ceilings – Examined for textured coatings, tiles, or asbestos insulation boards.
• Floor voids – Accessed to inspect subfloor materials and coverings.
• Pipe ducts – Checked for insulation, gaskets, or lagging.
• Lift shafts – Inspected for asbestos-containing panels or linings.
• Loft spaces – Examined for insulation, boards, or cement-based products.
• Riser shafts and corridors – Checked for asbestos fibres or debris.
• Exterior panels or soffits – Assessed for asbestos cement or cladding materials.
