If you own or manage a non-domestic property in Wokingham, or are responsible for common areas in residential flats, the law places a "duty to manage" asbestos firmly on your shoulders. This means you must actively identify and manage any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within your building. A comprehensive Asbestos Register is the cornerstone of this legal duty under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). It provides a detailed record of asbestos locations, types, and condition, ensuring everyone involved in the property's upkeep or future projects knows the risks. Our team helps you establish and maintain this vital document, protecting occupants' health and ensuring your compliance.

Our expert team carries out thorough Asbestos Management Surveys, specifically designed to help you meet your legal obligations and manage risk effectively. During a Management Survey, our highly trained technicians carefully inspect your Wokingham property to locate and identify any ACMs that could be disturbed during normal occupation or maintenance. We then assess their condition and potential for fibre release. The result is a detailed report and a clear Asbestos Register, giving you the information you need to create a robust management plan. We provide practical advice on how best to handle identified materials, ensuring the ongoing safety of your building.
