Asbestos survey
for landlords

Management versus refurbishment surveys, sampling, and honest limits. Price on application. Licensed removal is by others.

Not legal advice. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 sit behind the duty to manage. We do not claim a UKAS, BOHS or HSE licence on this page. Licensed removal is by others.

Survey types

A management survey is for normal occupation and maintenance access. A refurbishment or demolition survey is more intrusive and is used before strip-out or opening-up. We will not sell one as if it were the other.

Common parts versus a single let

A single private house that is purely domestic is a different duty from a house converted to flats with shared halls. Landlords of non-domestic parts and many blocks need to manage asbestos in common areas. Inside a tenanted dwelling, access and type of survey still follow the planned works. Not every rented terrace automatically needs a full commercial-style survey.

Testing

Sampling suspect material is part of a scoped visit when needed. Do not post debris. Results belong on a register with locations — a lone sample is not a building-wide all-clear. Analysis method is confirmed at quote time. We do not advertise a consumer kit price.

What we do not do here

Licensed asbestos removal is not this service. If the survey says removal is required, appoint a suitable licensed contractor. Re-inspections check condition of items already on a register. A first visit to an unknown building is usually a survey, not a ten-minute glance. Quotes for surveys are POA after age, access and planned works are known.

Common questions

Which survey do I need?

A management survey is for normal occupation. A refurbishment or demolition survey is for intrusive works. Tell us the planned work.

Do you remove asbestos?

Not as a licensed removal contractor on this page. If removal is required we say so and you appoint a suitable licensed contractor.

What does it cost?

POA. Size, age, access and how intrusive the survey must be all change the quote. We do not publish a fake starting price.

Building age, floor area, access and whether walls are coming open.
