Services
Asbestos Surveys
Our comprehensive asbestos surveys identify asbestos-containing materials in commercial and domestic properties. Using HSG264 methodology, our accredited surveyors conduct thorough inspections to locate and assess ACMs. The process includes sampling and analysis in our UKAS-accredited laboratory, producing detailed reports with colour-coded floor plans and risk assessments. Clients receive actionable recommendations for managing identified materials safely and compliantly.
Asbestos Testing
Our UKAS-accredited laboratory provides rapid asbestos material testing with 24-hour turnaround. Using polarised microscopy analysis, we identify asbestos types and concentrations in bulk samples. The service includes sample collection by qualified technicians, ensuring proper chain-of-custody procedures. Clients receive detailed reports specifying asbestos content, location, and management recommendations, supporting informed decision-making for property maintenance and compliance.
Asbestos Awareness Training
Our HSE-partnered training courses educate workers on asbestos risks and safe working practices. Delivered by qualified surveyors, the training covers fibre types, health risks, legislation, and management procedures. Available as half-day or full-day sessions, the programme includes practical demonstrations with resin-embedded asbestos samples. Participants receive certificates and comprehensive materials to support ongoing compliance with Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Asbestos Management Plans
We develop tailored asbestos management plans to help organisations comply with duty-to-manage regulations. Our consultants review existing documentation, assess ACM condition, and update records with deterioration findings. The plans include prioritised action items, reinspection schedules, and emergency procedures. We work alongside client teams to implement effective management strategies that prioritise safety while minimising unnecessary removal costs.
Risk Assessments
Our asbestos risk assessments evaluate ACM condition, accessibility, and disturbance likelihood. Following Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 guidelines, we determine appropriate management actions ranging from monitoring to removal. The assessment includes detailed documentation of findings, risk ratings, and control measures. Clients receive updated asbestos registers and recommendations for maintaining compliance with health and safety legislation.
