Why it matters for landlords

Asbestos Risk Can Impact Your Tenants, Property and Legal Responsibilities

As a landlord, you may have responsibilities to manage asbestos in non-domestic areas of your rental properties. Older buildings, void refurbishments, repairs and maintenance works can all disturb asbestos-containing materials.

A professional asbestos survey helps you stay compliant, protect tenants, reduce risk and avoid costly delays before contractors start work.

Legal Duty

Support compliance with asbestos management duties in relevant rental property areas.

Protect Tenants

Identify and manage asbestos risks to help keep tenants, trades and visitors safer.

Before Works

Surveys before refurbishment, void works, repairs or planned maintenance.

Avoid Costly Delays

Clear reports help you plan works, budgets and property timelines with confidence.

The right survey for your property

Survey Types for Landlords

We’ll recommend the right survey based on how the property is used and the type of work planned. That may be a management survey, refurbishment and demolition survey, or targeted sampling.

Landlord asbestos survey FAQs

Landlord FAQs

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?

Landlords may have duties to manage asbestos in non-domestic parts of rented properties, such as common areas, plant rooms, external structures or shared spaces. A survey can help identify and manage risk.

Do I need a survey before refurbishing a rental property?

If the property was built or refurbished before 2000, a survey should be considered before intrusive works, stripping out, repairs or refurbishment begin.

Can you test one suspected material?

Yes. If only one material is causing concern, targeted asbestos sampling and UKAS-accredited laboratory testing may be suitable.

Do you work with letting agents?

Yes. We can support landlords, letting agents and property professionals who need clear survey reports for managed rental properties.

Do you remove asbestos?

No. We provide independent surveys, sampling 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 survey type and property complexity.
