What We Do
HSG264-Compliant Survey Delivery
We conduct Management, Refurbishment, and Demolition surveys using methods aligned to HSG264 guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Our survey planning includes desktop review, scope agreement, and access coordination before site mobilization. Survey outputs include material identification, risk scoring, and location plans with photographic logs. This approach provides dutyholders with the information required to manage asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) during normal occupation and before planned works.
UKAS-Accredited Laboratory Analysis
We coordinate bulk sampling and laboratory analysis through UKAS accredited facilities. Sample chains of custody are maintained throughout the process, and laboratory certificates provide clear identification of material types and asbestos content. This ensures analysis results meet regulatory requirements and support decision-making for material management or removal.
Usable Registers and Action Plans
Our survey outputs are structured to support day-to-day management and project planning. Asbestos registers include material locations, condition assessments, and risk scores that translate into prioritized action plans. Floor plans and contractor briefing packs are tailored to specific work areas, which allows maintenance teams and contractors to understand controls before starting work. We provide registers in formats compatible with common Facility Management and asset tracking systems.
Dutyholder and Technical Advisory Support
We provide technical advice and support for dutyholders and appointed persons responsible for managing asbestos under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations. Our services include guidance on roles and responsibilities, reviewing permits to work, troubleshooting day-to-day queries, and preparing contractor briefings. This support helps dutyholders maintain compliance and ensures procedures remain practical and effective.
Facilities Managers and Dutyholders
We provide survey outputs and registers that support your legal duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Our management surveys identify ACMs during normal occupation, and our reinspection programmes keep registers current. Survey outputs include clear action plans and material risk scores that guide maintenance decisions and permit-to-work processes.
Project Managers and Development Leads
We conduct Refurbishment and Demolition surveys scoped to planned works, which ensures designers and contractors work from accurate ACM information. Our phased reporting aligns with programme areas, and contractor briefing packs provide work-area-specific information for pricing and method statements. This coordination reduces project delays caused by unexpected ACM discoveries.
Maintenance Teams and Contractors
We prepare contractor information packs with survey extracts, floor plans, and control measures for specific work areas. Our briefings clarify where ACMs are located, what controls apply, and what permits are required. This approach gives operatives the information they need before starting work, which supports safe working practices and regulatory compliance.
Asset and Property Managers
We provide structured asbestos data that supports asset management planning and risk prioritization. Our registers are formatted for data export and integration with property management systems. Reinspection schedules and variance logs track changes over time, which helps property managers understand material conditions and plan maintenance budgets.
1. Management Asbestos Surveys
We conduct Management surveys to identify and assess asbestos-containing materials during normal building occupation. Our surveys include pre-survey desktop review, on-site inspection with sampling where necessary, and material and priority assessments to HSG264 standards. Survey outputs include floor plans with ACM locations, photographic logs, and action plans with interim controls for dutyholders. We issue asbestos registers in agreed formats that support day-to-day management and permit-to-work systems.
2. Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys
We conduct intrusive Refurbishment and Demolition surveys scoped to planned works. Our process includes scope walk-throughs with designers and contractors, opening-up and sampling within work areas, and coordination of service isolation permissions and making good. We provide phased reporting aligned to programme areas and prepare survey extracts for method statements and pricing. Pre-start briefings for project teams ensure ACM locations and controls are understood before works commence.
3. Reinspection Programmes and Register Maintenance
We schedule reinspection surveys to keep asbestos registers current and targeted at risk. Reinspection frequency is set by material condition, risk score, and building use. Our reinspections update material condition assessments, refresh photographs and scores, and close out removals and management actions. Variance logs and refreshed registers provide dutyholders with current information for audits and reviews.
4. Technical Advisory and Management Plan Support
We provide technical advisory services for dutyholders and appointed persons responsible for asbestos management under Regulation 4. Our support includes guidance on defining roles and responsibilities, day-to-day advice, reviewing permits and emergency procedures, and preparing briefings for contractors and internal teams. Where required, we support the development of asbestos management plans that document dutyholder roles, procedures for permits and emergencies, communication protocols, and review schedules.
Our process
Discovery
We begin by understanding your requirements, operational context and the outcomes you need to achieve. This allows us to define the scope of support clearly, identify priorities and ensure our approach is aligned to your organisation, assets and service needs.
Coordination
Once the scope is agreed, we put in place the right people, processes and delivery arrangements to support the service. This stage ensures roles, timescales, communication and reporting are clear from the outset, providing a structured foundation for delivery.

FAQs
What is the difference between a Management survey and a Refurbishment & Demolition survey?
Management surveys identify asbestos-containing materials during normal building occupation and assess their condition for ongoing management. Refurbishment and Demolition surveys are intrusive and targeted to specific planned works. The survey type required depends on whether the building remains in normal use or whether works will disturb the building fabric.
How often should ACMs be reinspected?
Reinspection frequencies are set based on material condition, risk score, and building use. Many dutyholders schedule annual reinspections, with shorter intervals for materials in vulnerable areas or poor condition. We work with clients to establish appropriate reinspection schedules that balance regulatory requirements with practical resource considerations.
Do I need a survey for small refurbishment jobs?
Refurbishment and Demolition surveys should be conducted for any works that could disturb suspect materials, regardless of project size. Survey scope is agreed based on the extent and nature of planned works. This approach ensures contractors work from accurate ACM information and appropriate controls are in place.
Who is the dutyholder under the Control of Asbestos Regulations?
The dutyholder is the person or organisation with responsibility for maintenance or repair premises. Dutyholder responsibilities include managing asbestos risks, maintaining an asbestos register, and providing information to anyone who may disturb asbestos.
Do you provide analysis in-house?
We coordinate bulk sample analysis through UKAS accredited partner laboratories. This ensures analysis meets regulatory requirements and provides independent verification of material types. Laboratory certificates are provided with clear identification of asbestos content and material composition.
What formats do you deliver registers in?
We provide asbestos registers in formats agreed with clients, including Excel, CSV, PDF, and common data exchange formats. Our registers are structured for export and integration with Facility Management and property systems. Data fields and formatting can be tailored to client requirements and existing systems.
Can you work with our existing contractors and removal specialists?
Yes. We provide survey outputs and contractor briefing packs that support coordination with licensed asbestos removal contractors and other specialists. Our survey information is structured to support contractor pricing, method statement development, and permit-to-work processes, which ensures all parties work from accurate and consistent ACM information.
