Understand Asbestos Risk. Protect People, Property and Your Responsibilities.
As the owner or dutyholder, you may have legal responsibilities to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises. Asbestos may be present in older buildings and can be disturbed during refurbishment, maintenance, tenant fit-out or demolition.
A professional asbestos survey gives you the information you need to make safe, compliant and cost-effective decisions before work begins.
Meet Your Duties

Protect People

Support Transactions
Surveys provide useful information for sales, leases, acquisitions and insurance requirements.
Survey Types for Commercial Properties
We’ll recommend the right survey based on how the building is used and the type of work planned. That may be a management survey, refurbishment and demolition survey, targeted sampling or a clear report and management plan.

Commercial Property FAQs
Do commercial property owners need an asbestos survey?
If you own or manage non-domestic premises, you may have a duty to manage asbestos. A survey helps identify asbestos-containing materials and supports safe management.
When is a refurbishment and demolition survey needed?
A refurbishment and demolition survey is normally required before intrusive refurbishment, structural changes, strip-out works or demolition begin.
Can you survey occupied commercial buildings?
Yes. Management surveys are designed for buildings in normal use. We can discuss access, operational constraints and the safest survey approach before attendance.
Can you test one suspected material?
Yes. If one material is causing concern, targeted sampling and UKAS-accredited laboratory testing may be suitable.
Do you remove asbestos?
No. We provide independent surveys, testing and reports. We are not an asbestos removal company, so there is no removal upsell.
How quickly will I receive the report?
Reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours after inspection and laboratory results, depending on the survey type and property complexity.
