Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), if you’re responsible for a non-domestic property in Eton, you have a ‘duty to manage’ any asbestos on your premises. This includes offices, shops, industrial units, public buildings, and shared areas in residential blocks. Failing to do this puts people at risk and leaves you open to legal action. A crucial part of this duty is creating and maintaining an Asbestos Register. This isn’t just a tick-box exercise; it’s a living document that identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assesses their condition, and outlines how you plan to manage them. It’s essential for protecting building users, contractors, and your business’s reputation.

The foundation of any good Asbestos Register is a thorough Asbestos Management Survey. Our trained team comes to your Eton property to carry out a meticulous inspection. We systematically identify and locate any suspect materials that might contain asbestos. Our surveyors carefully assess their condition and potential for disturbance. This type of survey is non-intrusive where possible, focusing on identifying easily accessible ACMs. We gather all the necessary information to build a robust Asbestos Register, giving you a clear picture of any risks present and how to manage them effectively. We also offer Home Buyer Surveys for residential properties and more intrusive Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys for planned works.

Following your Management Survey, we put together your comprehensive Asbestos Register. This vital document includes detailed information on:

• The specific locations of any identified asbestos-containing materials.
• The type of asbestos (where identified through sampling).
• The condition of these materials.
• An assessment of the risk posed by each material.
• Recommendations for management, which could include monitoring, repair, encapsulation, or removal.
  This register is your guide to ongoing asbestos management, helping you to inform workers and contractors, plan maintenance safely, and demonstrate your compliance with the law. We also offer re-inspections to keep your register up to date as the condition of materials can change over time.
