The Commercial Survey Process

Project Consultation

We begin by discussing your property, planned works and survey requirements. This allows us to understand your objectives, determine the most appropriate survey type and ensure all necessary information is gathered before the inspection takes place.

  • Project requirement review
  • Property assessment
  • Survey recommendations
  • Compliance guidance

Property Inspection

Our surveyors attend site to carry out a detailed inspection of the property. Depending on the survey type required, inspections may include accessible building areas, service routes, plant rooms, ceiling voids, floor voids and other relevant locations.

  • Site inspection
  • Material identification
  • Risk assessment
  • Comprehensive coverage

Sampling & Analysis

Where suspected asbestos-containing materials are identified, representative samples are carefully collected and submitted to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This confirms whether asbestos is present and identifies the material type where applicable.

  • Safe sample collection
  • Laboratory analysis
  • Material confirmation
  • Verified results

Reporting & Recommendations

Following completion of the inspection and analysis process, a comprehensive digital report is produced. The report outlines all findings, material locations, risk information and recommendations to help support future management, maintenance or refurbishment activities.

  • Digital reporting
  • Photographic evidence
  • Practical recommendations
  • Ongoing support
