Asbestos Inspections Services
P402 Asbestos Inspections In London
Asbestos inspection services play an important role in helping property owners, landlords and organisations understand whether asbestos-containing materials may be present within a building. In the UK, asbestos inspections support safe building management, maintenance planning and legal compliance — without automatically leading to removal.
At London Asbestos, we provide clear information and support around asbestos inspection services, helping clients understand what inspections involve, when they are needed, and how results should be used responsibly.
What Are Asbestos Inspection Services?
Asbestos inspection services involve assessing a property to identify the potential presence, location and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The purpose is to inform safe management, not to cause disruption or alarm.
An asbestos inspection typically helps to:
Identify materials that may contain asbestos
Assess their condition and accessibility
Support the creation or review of an asbestos register
Inform maintenance or refurbishment planning
Inspection services are commonly used in commercial, public sector and residential settings across the UK.

Over 30 Years Experience in Asbestos Inspections
When Are Asbestos Inspection Services Required?
Asbestos inspections are often appropriate:
Before maintenance or repair work
Prior to refurbishment or demolition
When acquiring or managing older buildings
To meet dutyholder obligations under UK regulations
Buildings constructed or refurbished before the year 2000 are more likely to contain asbestos, making inspection a sensible, proportionate step in responsible property management.
Types of Asbestos Inspections
There are different types of asbestos inspections depending on the building and intended works:
Management Inspections
Designed to support the ongoing management of asbestos in occupied buildings. These are non-intrusive and focus on materials that could be disturbed during normal use.
Refurbishment and Demolition Inspections
Required before major building work. These are more intrusive and aim to locate asbestos in areas affected by the planned works.
Understanding the correct inspection type helps avoid unnecessary disruption while ensuring compliance.
Very professional. Incredibly responsive office staff. All the right equipment and knowledge. Asbestos removal is not inexpensive but the cost was totally justified by the service we received and by the way in which this good service kept the tenants relatively happy through what was a major inconvenience for them. Thank you.
Great service and communication from first contact to completion
Great service from London Asbestos. We have textured ceilings and wanted to check if they contain asbestos before removing. The staff answering telephone to make an appointment were very polite and helpful and the person taking sample generously came out on bank holiday monday to ensure we get the result asap. Results came back the same day as they were submitted to the lab. Luckily we had a negative result so didnt have any further works carried out but im very pleased with the service provided.
I needed a asbestos report quickly due to a house purchase. I contacted Julia and within a couple of days the report was done and the results available. I am waiting to complete on the property and when done will be calling the team in to complete the work. Amazing customer service from Julia who explained everything in detail. Would definately recommend.
