Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), if you are responsible for a non-domestic building, you have a legal 'duty to manage' asbestos. This means actively looking for it, assessing its condition, and putting a plan in place to keep people safe. An Asbestos Management Survey is the cornerstone of this duty. It helps you avoid costly legal penalties, protect the health of your employees, tenants, and visitors, and ensures you have a clear understanding of your property's asbestos status. For any property built before the year 2000, this survey is simply non-negotiable.

When you choose Southern Asbestos, you get a thorough and clear survey process. Our experienced technicians come to your Hemel Hempstead property to conduct a non-intrusive inspection. We meticulously check for asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in common areas, accessible voids, and throughout the building fabric. We will:

• Identify the location of any suspected ACMs.
• Take samples for UKAS-accredited laboratory testing if needed, providing definitive proof.
• Assess the condition of any identified asbestos.
• Create a detailed report and an asbestos register.
• Provide clear recommendations for managing any identified risks, whether that's monitoring, encapsulation, or safe removal.
  This comprehensive service gives you the specific information you need to create a robust asbestos management plan.
