Whether you manage an occupied building, are purchasing commercial premises or are preparing for refurbishment, we can help you select a survey suited to your property and planned activities.
Management Surveys
A management survey helps locate asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation, routine maintenance or foreseeable installation work. The findings support the preparation and ongoing review of your asbestos management arrangements.
Refurbishment Surveys
Before refurbishment or alterations, a targeted intrusive survey investigates the areas affected by the proposed works. This helps identify concealed asbestos-containing materials so appropriate action can be planned before work begins.
Demolition Surveys
A demolition survey involves an intrusive inspection of the building or section scheduled for demolition. Its purpose is to locate asbestos-containing materials within the agreed scope so their removal can be arranged before demolition.
Reinspection Surveys
Reinspection surveys review the condition of previously identified asbestos-containing materials. They help you keep your records current and assess whether existing management measures remain appropriate.

Which survey is suitable for my commercial property?
This depends on how the property is used and whether any work is planned. A management survey generally supports ongoing occupation and maintenance, while refurbishment or demolition requires an intrusive survey covering the affected areas. We can help you establish the appropriate scope.
Can you survey an occupied business premises?
Management surveys can often be carried out in occupied premises with suitable planning. Intrusive refurbishment and demolition surveys may require the affected areas to be vacated and isolated. We will discuss this before the survey.
Does finding asbestos mean it must be removed?
Removal is not always necessary. Some materials can be managed in place if they are in suitable condition and unlikely to be disturbed. Recommendations depend on the material, its condition, location and any planned work.
Can you survey a property before we purchase or lease it?
Yes. A survey can help you understand potential asbestos issues before committing to commercial premises. Access and permission will need to be arranged with the current owner or occupier.
What if some areas cannot be accessed?
Any inaccessible areas and survey limitations will be recorded in the report. Further investigation may be needed before work takes place in those areas.
Do you cover multiple commercial properties?
Yes. We can discuss surveys across a property portfolio, agreeing a consistent scope and reporting approach to help you manage the findings.
