What is a Commercial Asbestos Management Plan?

An asbestos management plan sets out how asbestos in your building will be handled, monitored and kept safe. This is a key part of compliance with commercial property asbestos regulations. Your management plan should include:

  • An up-to-date asbestos register
  • A schedule of regular inspections
  • Details of how you’ll manage or reduce any risks
  • Procedures for informing contractors and staff
  • A record of responsibilities and review dates

If you don’t already have a plan in place, or if your plan hasn’t been updated in several years, we can help you build a compliant, easy-to-follow strategy.

What Are Your Legal Responsibilities?

If your commercial building was built before 2000, it may contain asbestos. Under current UK law, there must be a clear plan in place to locate and manage any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could pose a risk during maintenance, use, or refurbishment. These requirements apply to duty holders, which include:

  • Commercial landlords
  • Facilities and property managers
  • Tenants with repair/maintenance responsibilities
  • Business owners occupying older premises

You are legally required to assess, monitor and safely manage any asbestos that may be present. Failing to do so could put lives at risk and lead to prosecution or financial penalties.

Do You Need an Asbestos Certificate?

There’s no official government-issued “asbestos certificate”, but you may be asked to provide evidence of asbestos compliance when selling or leasing a commercial property. This typically includes:

  • A valid asbestos survey
  • An up-to-date asbestos report and register

Absolutely delighted with the service received. It took me at least six months from receiving an initial quote to approving it (my own fault for the delay) but Tracy in the office was incredibly patient and helpful answering any questions I had. The team arrived on the day arranged and left the area clean and tidy. They even took some extra rubbish which I'd accidentally left so bonus points for that! Really happy and would 100% recommend. I did shop around and they're prices are the most competitive in Derby. 10/10!

From my initial contact to the completion of my garage ceiling asbestos AIB board removal the service I received was five star. I was very impressed with the whole team who were both friendly, very experienced and completed the work in the specified time. I would recommend this company as it can be a very stressful time but they talked me through every step and could not be more responsive to my needs.

From the initial survey to the removal Midlands Asbestos Solutions have been quick, efficient, communicated clearly and helpful. I had them do a survey of my house before having some work done given the age of the property. They did a thorough survey and thankfully found the small bit of asbestos in the aga. This inquisitive mindset went beyond the walls and ceilings, helping us to make our home safe and compliant. The guys who came round to do the removal were great too.

Requested a sample of some floor tiles found under existing kitchen floor. Very friendly and helpful staff member answered the phoned. Appointment was made and someone came round and collected the sample which is then sent to a UKAS accredited lab. Results received a few days later with certificate. No asbestos found fortunately. Yes it is more expensive than doing these ones where you do it yourself and post it off, but you know it is done right, also they have a lot more overheads to cover.

FAQS

Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about commercial asbestos compliance.

The key regulation is the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It requires duty holders to identify, assess and manage asbestos risks in any non-domestic premises built before 2000.

Commercial landlords have a legal duty to manage asbestos if they’re responsible for maintenance or repair. In some cases, tenants may share responsibility.

You should review the asbestos register and management plan at least annually, or sooner if there are changes to the building or its use.

There’s no single asbestos certificate, but we’ll provide all the documentation you need, including reports, registers and management plans to show full compliance.

Failure to comply can lead to enforcement action, large fines, or prosecution. More importantly, it could put people at risk of exposure to dangerous asbestos fibres.
