Accredited surveys that keep you compliant and your buildings safe
Management, refurbishment and demolition surveys to HSG264 by BOHS-qualified surveyors, with clear, practical reports and a register you can act on straight away.
Survey first, then manage with confidence
We are accredited asbestos surveyors. Our BOHS P402 surveyors carry out management, refurbishment and demolition surveys to HSG264, with sampling and UKAS-accredited analysis where it is needed. You receive a clear report, a usable register and honest, practical recommendations, not a document that sits in a drawer.
You will typically need a survey before refurbishment or demolition, as part of the ongoing duty to manage non-domestic premises, when buying or leasing a pre-2000 building, or whenever a suspect material is found.

Meet your legal duty, the straightforward way
The duty to manage asbestos
In non-domestic premises, the dutyholder must find out whether asbestos is present, record its location and condition, assess the risk and keep an up-to-date management plan. We help you meet every part of it.
If you own, occupy or manage a building
Anyone responsible for maintenance and repair of non-domestic premises, plus the common areas of many domestic blocks, holds the duty. A compliant survey, register and plan are how you discharge it.

A management survey suits day-to-day occupation. A refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before any intrusive work, refurbishment or demolition, because it locates asbestos that a management survey would not disturb. We confirm the right type for you and never over-specify.
Before refurbishment or demolition, and as part of the ongoing duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises under CAR 2012. Buying or leasing a pre-2000 building is also a sensible trigger.
It identifies the location, type, extent and condition of any asbestos, with sampling and UKAS-accredited analysis where required, a risk rating, photographs and clear, practical recommendations, plus a register you can manage from.
Most surveys are scheduled within days and the report follows shortly after the laboratory analysis is complete. Urgent and pre-works surveys can be prioritised. We give you a clear timescale with your quote.
Through our secure Online Survey Reports area, so your register and survey documents are always available to you and your team.
