Commercial Asbestos Surveys
If you’re responsible for a commercial building, you have a legal duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
At Midlands Asbestos Solutions, we provide fully compliant, professional commercial asbestos surveys for a wide range of properties, from offices and warehouses to schools, factories and retail units.
Our expert team will help you understand exactly what asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present, their condition, and how to manage them safely.

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.
Commercial Building Types We Work With
We’ve completed commercial building asbestos surveys for a wide range of properties, including:
- Offices and business parks
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Schools and colleges
- Care homes and medical centres
- Retail shops and supermarkets
- Restaurants and hospitality venues

Whether you’re managing a single site or multiple properties, we’ll provide a reliable, efficient survey tailored to your building type and your responsibilities.
What Happens After the Survey?
Following your commercial asbestos survey, we’ll provide a clear and detailed report, including:
- A register of identified asbestos-containing materials
- Material assessments and risk ratings
- Recommendations for removal, encapsulation, or ongoing management
- Support with creating or updating your asbestos management plan

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.
