We have used Luke to carry out our FRA’s on approximately 30 HMO properties. Luke is extremely reliable and very commercial. He spent time educating our builders on how to ensure everything complied with regulations and it means we have very few findings on our properties due to Luke’s time and expertise. I could not recommend Luke enough.
Asbestos Survey Services
Asbestos is a hazardous material commonly found in buildings constructed before 2000. Managing asbestos is crucial to ensure the health and safety of occupants and workers. Our asbestos survey services are designed to identify the presence, condition, and extent of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your property.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) place a “duty to manage” asbestos on anyone responsible for non-domestic premises. This includes employers, building owners, landlords, and managing agents. To comply with this duty, the responsible person must:
- Identify whether asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present
- Assess their condition and risk
- Keep records (an asbestos register)
- Prevent exposure to anyone who could disturb them.
Management Survey
This survey service is designed for the normal occupation and use of a building to ensure the continued management of asbestos-containing materials in situ. The purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect ACMs which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy.
Refurbishment and Demolition Survey
This survey is required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. It aims to locate and describe all ACMs in the area where the work will take place. The survey service will be fully intrusive and involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that are difficult to reach.
Asbestos exposure can be extremely harmful for workers and occupants. Due to the toxic fibres asbestos can release into the air, asbestos exposure can be the cause of several serious health concerns and conditions, including:
- Lung-cancer
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
- Pleural thickening
This is why it is so important to follow the advice and recommended actions following professional asbestos surveys. Here at Absolute Property Surveys, the health and well-being of your property occupants is at the heart of everything we do. We work with a team of experienced and knowledgeable contractors to provide comprehensive asbestos survey services, equipping you with the knowledge and expert recommendations to ensure the safety of all workers and building occupants against the harmful effects of asbestos exposure.

Whether you are legally required to fulfil an asbestos survey for your property or establishment depends entirely on your individual circumstances.
For all commercial or public properties constructed before the year 2000, asbestos surveys are a legal requirement in the UK to establish any risk of asbestos exposure that could impact the health and safety of workers and occupants.
For homeowners, whilst you are not legally required to conduct an asbestos survey, some lenders or mortgage providers may request a completed asbestos survey report when selling your home. This offers protection for both lenders and home buyers, as sellers are legally obligated to disclose any known asbestos in a property before sale.
For landlords and residential property managers, there is a legal requirement for asbestos surveys to be completed in all shared common areas. This could include, but is not limited to, hallways, communal living spaces, stairways, and lifts.
