Do I Need a Residential Asbestos Survey for My Property?
If your home was built before the year 2000, there’s a chance it may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). At HSE Checks, we provide compliant asbestos surveys for both residential and commercial properties, helping landlords, homeowners, and property managers meet their obligations under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Our surveys include:
-
A detailed asbestos risk assessment
-
Identification and sampling of suspected ACMs
-
Lab analysis and clear reporting of findings
-
Recommendations for ongoing management or safe removal
Do I Have to Remove Asbestos if It’s Found?
Not necessarily. If the asbestos is undamaged and in good condition, it may be safer to leave it in place and monitor it regularly. Asbestos becomes dangerous only when disturbed, releasing microscopic fibres that can be inhaled and cause serious illness over time. This is why a professional asbestos management survey is vital. It ensures you're aware of any risks and have a clear plan to protect yourself, your tenants, or your family, especially during renovations, property sales, or lettings.

What Types of Residential and Commercial Asbestos Surveys Do HSE Checks Offer?
HSE Property Checks provides a full suite of asbestos surveys for both residential and commercial properties, in full compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Our experienced and accredited surveyors carry out inspections across all property types — from flats, bungalows, and houses to offices, retail units, GP surgeries, and multi-storey buildings.
Our core asbestos survey services include:
-
Management Asbestos Survey (Residential & Commercial): Designed to identify, assess, and manage any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a building under normal occupancy. This is the standard survey required for ongoing use and tenancy.
-
Refurbishment Asbestos Survey: Required before any refurbishment, renovation, or intrusive work begins. This targeted survey identifies asbestos in the specific areas where work will take place, ensuring contractor safety and legal compliance.
-
Demolition Asbestos Survey: The most comprehensive and intrusive asbestos survey, legally required before full or partial demolition. It ensures all ACMs are identified and safely removed in line with health and safety regulations.
-
Re-Inspection Asbestos Survey: For properties where asbestos has already been identified, we provide periodic re-inspection surveys to ensure that ACMs remain in a safe and manageable condition. This is vital for ongoing asbestos management plans.
We conduct asbestos inspections across a wide range of residential and commercial property types, including:
-
Single-family homes
-
HMOs and apartment blocks
-
Shops and offices
-
Healthcare settings and GP surgeries
