Asbestos Management Plans

HSE Asbestos Removals operates from our offices in Edinburgh and London — contact one of our consultants today for free expert advice. Asbestos has long been the UK’s leading cause of industrial-related illness. While many businesses now recognise their legal duty to assess asbestos-containing materials in non-domestic premises through professional surveys, many still fail to follow up with a proper Asbestos Management Plan. Conducting the survey is only the first step — managing identified asbestos safely is equally essential. Get in touch with us today to learn how we can help you stay compliant and protect your premises.

Asbestos Survey Types

Asbestos Management & Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys

There are two main types of asbestos surveys: Management Surveys and Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys. Some buildings may require both—such as when one area is being refurbished or demolished while the rest remains in use.

Asbestos Management Survey:

This survey inspects all accessible areas for asbestos, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. The resulting report identifies the location, type, and condition of any asbestos materials, along with risk assessments and management recommendations.

Asbestos Refurbishment/Demolition Survey:

A more intrusive survey, this is carried out before refurbishment or demolition. It involves accessing sealed areas, voids, and cavities to identify all asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during the work.

Survey Report:

You’ll receive a detailed report outlining all asbestos findings, including an asbestos register, risk assessments, and management advice. It also includes laboratory analysis results for all samples and clear guidance on maintaining your asbestos register and safely managing identified materials.

Asbestos Surveys for Domestic Premises & Communal Areas

Asbestos remains present in thousands of homes across the UK, making an asbestos survey the most effective way to identify potential asbestos-containing materials. While removal may sometimes be necessary, the first step is always to locate and test any suspect materials.

A domestic asbestos survey follows the same process as a commercial one, carefully inspecting the property to detect asbestos in building materials. Although asbestos use was completely banned in the UK in 1999, it had been widely used for over five decades before that, appearing in many common household materials.

These include Artex textured coatings, bitumen sink pads, cement flue pipes and roof sheets, fuse box ropes and flash pads, thermoplastic (Marley) floor tiles, backing boards behind cookers and fuse boxes, and pipe insulation. A domestic asbestos survey ensures these materials are accurately identified and tested for safe management or removal.

Asbestos Management

HSE Asbestos Removals London operates from our centrally located offices in both Edinburgh and London. Contact one of our consultants today for free professional advice. Asbestos has long been the leading cause of industrial illness-related deaths. Fortunately, awareness is increasing among businesses and individuals that it is a legal requirement to assess asbestos-containing materials in non-domestic properties—typically through an asbestos survey. However, many Duty Holders fail to take the next crucial step of developing an Asbestos Management Plan. Conducting the survey alone does not fulfil legal obligations; it must be followed by a clear and effective plan to manage any identified asbestos within the premises.

Asbestos Testing

Our highly qualified and experienced asbestos surveyors have collected more than 20,000 asbestos samples over the past 30 years. We remain committed to carrying out asbestos surveys and removals in full accordance with the latest industry standards. Constantly seeking to improve our efficiency, we aim to pass any cost savings directly on to our valued clients — a core principle of our company ethos. With an impeccable 30-year track record, we bring an extensive depth of knowledge and expertise across all areas of the asbestos industry.

Asbestos Surveys

There are two primary types of asbestos surveys: Management Surveys and Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys. A Management Survey involves inspecting all reasonably accessible areas, collecting samples for laboratory testing, and producing a detailed report outlining the location, condition, and risk level of any asbestos-containing materials, along with recommendations for their safe management. A Refurbishment/Demolition Survey is more intrusive, examining concealed spaces such as sealed voids and cavities, and is usually carried out prior to refurbishment or demolition work. Both types of surveys provide a comprehensive report that includes an asbestos register, risk assessments, and laboratory results, enabling effective monitoring, management, and planning for the safe handling of asbestos within your property.

Asbestos Removals

Our skilled team approaches every project with the utmost commitment to safety, employing certified techniques and operating fully in line with current UK regulations. From initial surveys and risk assessments to complete asbestos removals, we provide thorough, dependable, and efficient solutions. Every stage of our work is backed by comprehensive documentation and strict adherence to industry best practices, ensuring our clients have full confidence that asbestos is being managed and removed safely and responsibly.

If you are responsible for managing a non-domestic property, you have a legal duty to take appropriate measures to identify and control asbestos. This involves determining whether Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) are present, assessing their type and condition, assuming materials contain asbestos unless confirmed otherwise, evaluating the potential risk of disturbance or exposure, and routinely reviewing and updating your asbestos management plan to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.

If you’re uncertain about whether you are the Duty Holder, which type of survey is required, or if you’d like further details about our services, reach out to Asbestos Surveys & Advice Ltd today for professional guidance and assistance.
