Asbestos Management Survey
Our Asbestos Management Surveys identify ACMs in commercial properties built before 2000, producing detailed registers that meet CAR 2012 requirements. Surveyors examine all accessible areas including roof spaces and voids, using digital documentation to record suspect materials. Reports include management recommendations, with sampling only when necessary, helping property owners maintain compliance while minimising disruption and costs.
Fire Risk Assessment
Conducted in accordance with Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, our assessments evaluate fire hazards, identify at-risk individuals, and recommend control measures. We produce actionable fire management plans that cover emergency procedures, staff training requirements, and equipment maintenance schedules. Our approach ensures compliance while providing practical safety improvements that protect occupants and business continuity.
DDA Assessment
Equality Act 2010 compliance assessments identify accessibility barriers for disabled users across commercial premises. We evaluate physical access, sensory provisions, and service delivery practices, offering cost-effective solutions that meet legal requirements without excessive expenditure. Our reports balance regulatory compliance with practical implementation considerations for business owners.
Combined Assessments
Our unique single-visit service combines asbestos and fire risk assessments for blocks of flats, reducing costs by 30% compared to separate visits. This integrated approach maintains rigorous standards for both assessments while streamlining the process for property managers. Clients receive separate detailed reports for each assessment type following the single site visit.
Asbestos Register
We create comprehensive asbestos registers documenting ACM locations, types, and conditions in accordance with HSG264 guidelines. The registers include photographic evidence and management recommendations, providing essential documentation for property transactions or ongoing compliance. Digital PDF formats ensure easy access and record-keeping for property owners.
