Investigations & Reports

Asbestos investigation and management surveys provide the essential baseline for identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and planning their safe management or removal. Our asbestos investigations and reporting services support property owners, duty holders, and project teams in making informed, compliant decisions. Whether you suspect asbestos is present or need clarity before refurbishment or demolition works, we deliver clear, expert-led guidance.

Our detailed reports combine visual inspection with sampling and laboratory analysis to assess risk, define material condition, and recommend next steps. From initial asbestos management surveys to targeted asbestos refurbishment surveys, we provide the evidence and insight you need to support project planning, compliance strategies, and licensed asbestos removal where required.

Supporting Safer, Smarter Decisions with Every Survey

As part of SEAS Environmental Asbestos Management, our surveys, reports, and management plans support a wide range of stakeholders, from property owners and duty holders to architects, developers, and insurance specialists. Whether you’re navigating regulatory requirements or planning long-term remediation or demolition, each report is structured to inform, protect, and enable responsible action.

Health & Safety Assurance

Identifying and managing asbestos risk is vital to protecting building occupants, contractors, and the wider public. Our reports provide detail and clarity to meet health and safety responsibilities and reduce exposure risk.

Regulatory Compliance

We ensure your asbestos report aligns with current HSE asbestos management regulations, helping you comply with Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and related health and safety laws.

Remediation Planning

From minor removal works to full-scale remediation, our surveys define risk, material conditions, and prioritised action plans for referral to a licensed asbestos removal specialist.

Asbestos Demolition & Development

Asbestos demolition surveys are a legal requirement before any refurbishment or structural work. Our reports support safe demolition project planning, mitigating delays, and preventing regulatory breaches.

Insurance & Risk Assessment

Whether for due diligence or incident response, our reports support insurance assessments, asbestos and fire risk evaluation, and future-proofing policies against unplanned liability.

Funding & Stakeholder Evidence

Detailed asbestos reports and management plans provide essential documentation for funding bids, planning permission, and engagement with local authorities, insurers, and commercial stakeholders.

Legacy Buildings. Modern Risk.

Asbestos remains one of the most serious legacy threats to public buildings and private commercial properties. Many older structures — from hospitals and schools to military estates and local authority housing — still contain asbestos materials that pose a risk to people and compliance.

With increasing regulatory pressure, it’s essential to act. That’s where SEAS comes in.

We deliver asbestos surveys, factual reporting, and clear management plans to help you identify, assess, and respond. From investigation to remediation or safe management, we give you control — protecting your people, property, and responsibilities.

Our detailed Surveys provide:

Age and History of the Building:

If your building was constructed before 2000, there’s a high likelihood it contains asbestos materials. SEAS can help assess risk based on building type, use, and known historical materials.

Visible Material Deterioration:

Damaged ceiling tiles, pipe lagging, floor coverings, or textured coatings may be suspect. Our team can carry out sampling and confirm the presence of asbestos.

Planned Refurbishment or Demolition:

An asbestos demolition or refurbishment survey is a legal requirement before work begins. We support planning by delivering detailed surveys and actionable asbestos reports.

Compliance and Documentation Gaps:

Missing or outdated asbestos registers or management plans can expose you to legal and health risks. We ensure you meet HSE asbestos management regulations.

Risk to Occupants and Contractors:

Schools, hospitals, and social housing must prioritise occupant safety. We help minimise disruption, even within live-occupied environments, while ensuring regulatory alignment.

Required Reporting for Insurance or Audits:

Insurance providers often require clear asbestos and fire risk assessments. Our detailed documentation supports both planned works and claims processes.

Clear Next Steps and Professional Guidance:

Asbestos management is complex and regulated. From survey to licensed asbestos removal or long-term management strategies, we work with you, guiding compliant, informed decision-making.

SEAS Asbestos Management: Your Clear 5-Step Process

Initial Consultation & Planning:

We start with a desktop review and on-site assessment to understand your building’s history and use. This determines whether you need an asbestos management or refurbishment/demolition survey, as per HSE guidelines. You’ll receive a scoped plan, schedule, and compliance roadmap tailored to your needs.

Asbestos Survey & Sampling:

A SEAS UKAS-accredited surveyor inspects all areas as per HSE guidance. Suspect materials are lab-tested under strict safety protocols. You’ll receive a detailed register, including any potential hidden ACMs.

Risk Assessment & Asbestos Register:

Post-survey, we assess each ACM (asbestos-containing material) for condition, risk, and friability. This creates your live asbestos register, detailing type, location, condition, priority, and next steps—crucial for compliance and fire risk assessments.

Asbestos Management Plan & Recommendations:

Based on your survey results, we create a bespoke asbestos management plan aligned with HSE standards. It outlines responsibilities, monitoring, emergency procedures, and actions like repair, encapsulation, or removal—ensuring compliance for any future refurbishment or demolition.

Implementation, Licensing & Ongoing Review:

We manage licensed asbestos removal, encapsulation, and monitoring, ensuring HSE compliance. We also handle annual re-inspections and register updates to keep your building safe, compliant, and audit-ready.
