Who needs a management survey
- Owners and managers of commercial and industrial premises
- Landlords with shared or communal areas
- Schools, hospitals, churches and public buildings
- Anyone whose maintenance staff or contractors enter pre-2000 buildings
What the survey covers
A management survey locates the presence, type and condition of asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation and routine maintenance. It follows HSE guidance (HSG264) and involves sampling of suspect materials.
- Where asbestos is, or is presumed to be
- What it is made of, from laboratory results
- Its condition and the risk of disturbance
- Priorities for action and management
Why a specialist surveyor matters
A general building surveyor can flag possible asbestos, but identifying and sampling it takes specialist training. Cutting corners on samples can leave gaps in the register, and gaps put people at risk.
What you receive
- A clear written report
- An asbestos register for the building
- Photographs and plans marking locations
- A risk assessment and recommendations
- Support with a management plan and periodic re-inspection
How we do the work
Plan the survey
We agree the scope, access and timing, and review any earlier reports.
Inspect the building
A trained surveyor walks the premises and identifies suspect materials.
Take samples
Controlled samples are taken from suspect materials and sent for laboratory analysis.
Report and register
We compile findings into a report with an asbestos register, photographs and plans.
Asbestos waste is double-bagged, sealed and taken by a registered carrier to an authorised disposal site. You receive a waste consignment note as your legal record.
