Overview
About this service
For non-domestic premises in London, the dutyholder must take reasonable steps to find out if asbestos is present. They must then manage the risks under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 are more likely to contain asbestos. A commercial asbestos survey finds, as far as reasonably practicable, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). We survey offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses, industrial units and the common parts of residential blocks. You receive the asbestos register you need.

How it works
Common questions
If the building was built before 2000, the dutyholder must manage asbestos under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This normally means finding out if asbestos is present, usually through a management survey. You then keep an asbestos register and management plan up to date.
The person or organisation responsible for maintaining or repairing the premises under the lease or contract. That can be the owner, landlord, managing agent or tenant, and the responsibility can be shared. Check your lease if you are unsure.
A management survey identifies or presumes asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation and routine maintenance. A refurbishment or demolition (R&D) survey is more intrusive and investigates the areas that the proposed works will disturb. The scope and access arrangements must match the project.
Often, yes, with suitable access and precautions. Sampling and minor intrusive work may need small areas to be closed off for a short time. We agree the arrangements and visit timing with you before the survey.
Residential management surveys start from £250. Commercial surveys are priced individually, based on site size, access, scope and sampling. We provide a fixed written quote before booking.
Surveys are carried out by a BOHS P402-qualified surveyor. We can confirm the assigned surveyor's qualifications before booking. BOHS P402 is an individual qualification, not a company accreditation.
Survey reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours after the inspection and any required UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis are complete. Reporting times are confirmed before booking and may vary with scope, access and testing requirements.
