At Asbestos Inspection, we carry out professional asbestos surveying and asbestos management inspections for domestic, commercial, and industrial properties across the UK. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, contractor, or developer, we ensure your property complies with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 before any work that could disturb asbestos materials or release asbestos fibres begins.

Our inspections are designed to identify, sample, and risk assess potential ACMs through thorough site assessments, UKAS-accredited laboratory asbestos testing asbestos, and clear, detailed reporting that supports safe management, refurbishment, or abatement, ensuring protection of workers, occupants, and the environment.

Why Is an Asbestos Inspection Necessary?

An asbestos management survey is essential to locate, identify, and assess ACMs that could pose health risks or hazardous exposure during refurbishment, demolitions, or ongoing occupation.

By identifying asbestos risks before works begin, you can protect people, employees, and the public while meeting legal obligations under UK health and safety law and following HSE guidelines and proper procedures.

What Should You Expect From the Asbestos Inspection Report?

Our asbestos inspection reports include:

• Presence and condition of any ACMs – Detailed descriptions of asbestos materials identified during the survey.
• Photographic documentation – Clear images supporting and verifying survey findings.
• Risk assessment scores – Ratings indicating the potential hazard level of each identified ACM.
• Recommendations – Guidance for safe removal, encapsulation, or ongoing air monitoring.
• Annotated building plans – Visual layouts showing the precise location of ACMs where applicable.
• Restricted access notes – Details of areas that could not be fully inspected and may require further investigation.
• Fast reporting options – Urgent survey results available within 48 hours when required.

How Much Does an Asbestos Inspection Cost in or Around?

The cost of an asbestos management inspection ranges from £250 to £650, depending on the size, complexity, and property types.

Smaller homes and flats fall at the lower end, while large commercial offices, schools, or industrial sites may require more extensive surveying. Costs are influenced by the number of samples needed, accessibility, and the urgency of the inspection. Budget planning and quotations are provided to meet individual clients’ needs and ensure transparency in price and reviews.

When Is an Asbestos Inspection Legally Required?

An asbestos management survey is required before any refurbishment, demolition, or major internal works on properties constructed before 2000.

This applies to both residential and commercial properties, as well as public buildings such as schools and healthcare centres. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, duty holders must ensure a suitable management survey is completed to avoid legal penalties or project delays.

Can Inspections Be Carried Out Quickly for Urgent Projects?

We offer same-day and next-day asbestos inspections asbestos for projects where time is critical.

Our asbestos surveyors can attend at short notice, collect samples, and arrange UKAS-accredited laboratory asbestos testing, with full asbestos survey reports issued within 24 to 48 hours to keep your project on schedule while ensuring asbestos safety, air monitoring, and protection of everyone on-site.

How Do Surveyors Identify and Assess Suspected ACMs?

Our asbestos surveyors are BOHS-qualified and follow HSG264 guidance to conduct thorough visual checks, safe sampling, and material analysis.

Samples are sealed, labelled, and sent to accredited laboratories, after which we assess each material’s condition and location to determine the amount of asbestos fibres, asbestos risks, and provide clear recommendations for abatement procedures, ongoing management, or air monitoring. Our team brings years of experience and training to ensure quality and impartiality throughout the process.

Which Areas Are Examined During an Asbestos Inspection?

We inspect all areas of a property where asbestos materials may be present, including:

• Ceilings and ceiling voids – Checked for asbestos insulation boards, sprayed coatings, or textured finishes.
• Wall panels and internal partitions – Examined for asbestos-containing boards, sheeting, or insulation.
• Boiler rooms and pipe insulation – Assessed for lagging, gaskets, and other ACMs around heating systems.
• Floor tiles and coverings – Inspected for vinyl tiles, adhesives, or backing materials containing asbestos fibres.
• Textured coatings – Tested for asbestos content in decorative finishes such as Artex.
• Roof linings and external cladding – Examined for asbestos cement sheets, panels, or soffits.
• Risers, ducts, and service areas – Checked for insulation, lining boards, or other hidden ACMs.

Do Asbestos Inspection Providers Offer Removal Services Too?

While our primary service is asbestos surveying, we work closely with licensed asbestos removal contractors and can recommend trusted providers for safe abatement and decontamination. We can also oversee clearance inspections following removal to ensure full compliance and certification of safe reoccupation of the premises.
