Professional asbestos management surveys designed to help identify and manage asbestos-containing materials within occupied buildings across South Yorkshire and nationwide.
What Is A Management Asbestos Survey?
Management asbestos surveys are designed to locate and assess asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupancy, maintenance or everyday building use.
These surveys help duty holders, landlords and property managers safely manage asbestos risks within occupied premises.

When Is A Management Survey Required?
Refurbishment asbestos surveys are typically required before intrusive works that may disturb the building structure or hidden materials.
The Management Survey Process
Property Review
Before attending site, we assess the property details, planned refurbishment works and any available drawings or project information. This allows our surveyors to understand which areas may require intrusive inspection during the survey process.
- Planned works assessment
- Site & access review
- Property information checks
- Survey scope preparation


Non-Intrusive Inspection
Our surveyors carry out a detailed intrusive inspection within the required areas of the property. Walls, ceilings, risers, service voids and hidden construction materials may be accessed where refurbishment works could disturb asbestos-containing materials.
- Intrusive material inspection
- Accessing hidden voids
- Identifying suspect materials
- Safe inspection procedures
Sampling & Analysis
Where suspected asbestos-containing materials are identified, samples can be safely collected and submitted for laboratory analysis. This helps accurately confirm material composition and supports compliant decision making before works begin.
- Safe sample collection
- UKAS Laboratory analysis
- Material identification


Reporting & Recommendations
Following completion of the survey, a clear digital asbestos report is provided outlining findings, material locations, risk information and practical recommendations to support safe refurbishment planning.
- Digital asbestos reports
- Clear material findings
- Actionable recommendations
- Fast report turnaround
