Why Do I Need a Commercial Asbestos Survey?

If your commercial building was constructed before 2000, it may contain asbestos. Identifying and managing asbestos is a legal requirement for all duty holders, whether you’re a landlord, facilities manager, or business owner. A commercial asbestos survey helps you:

  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Reduce health risks for building users
  • Plan safe refurbishments or demolitions
  • Avoid costly delays and project disruptions
  • Create or update an asbestos management plan

We carry out asbestos surveys for commercial property across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and surrounding areas.

What Does the Survey Involve?

Our team will conduct a thorough inspection of your premises to identify the presence, type, and condition of any asbestos-containing materials. The survey may include:

  • Visual inspection of the site and relevant building materials
  • Collection of samples for UKAS-accredited laboratory testing
  • Risk assessment based on condition and location
  • Clear reporting with photographic evidence and material details
  • Guidance on whether materials need to be removed, encapsulated or monitored

Our Commercial Survey Types

We offer two main types of asbestos surveys on commercial property:

1. Management Surveys

Designed to locate asbestos-containing materials that may be disturbed during normal use of the building. This is essential for ongoing legal compliance.

2. Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys

Required before any major refurbishment or demolition work. This is a more intrusive survey to locate all asbestos materials that could be disturbed during the work.

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 surveys.

If you’re the duty holder for a commercial property built before 2000, you are legally required to identify and manage asbestos risks under UK law.

This depends on the size and complexity of the building. Most surveys can be completed within one working day, with results typically delivered within a few days.

If asbestos is identified, we’ll explain your options clearly. This might involve removal, encapsulation, or simply managing the material in place through an asbestos management plan.

A full survey is usually only needed once, but regular re-inspections are required (typically annually) to ensure the materials remain in safe condition.

While we’re based in Nottinghamshire, we regularly carry out asbestos surveys on commercial property throughout the East Midlands and further afield, depending on project requirements.
