Asbestos Surveys
Our comprehensive asbestos surveys identify asbestos-containing materials in commercial and domestic properties. Conducted by UKAS-accredited analysts following HSG 264 guidelines, these surveys include detailed sampling and condition assessments. Reports feature full-colour floor plans, asbestos registers, and risk assessments to support effective management plans.
Asbestos Testing
Utilising our UKAS ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, we provide rapid asbestos material testing with 24-hour turnaround. Our analysts employ polarised microscopy to identify asbestos types in bulk samples. Results include detailed reports with recommendations for managing identified hazards in accordance with current regulations.
Awareness Training
Delivered by qualified asbestos surveyors, our HSE-aligned training courses cover asbestos identification, health risks, and legal obligations. Available nationwide or at our Oxfordshire facility, sessions include practical demonstrations with resin-embedded asbestos samples and tailored content for different workplace environments.
Risk Assessment
We conduct detailed asbestos risk assessments to evaluate ACM condition and potential exposure risks. Our assessments consider material type, location, and likelihood of disturbance, forming the basis for management plans. Recommendations prioritise safety while avoiding unnecessary removal costs where materials remain in good condition.
Management Plans
Our asbestos management plans provide actionable strategies for maintaining ACMs in situ. Developed alongside client teams, these plans include regular monitoring schedules, emergency procedures, and regulatory compliance guidance. We update existing plans to reflect material condition changes identified through periodic surveys.
