    What is asbestos management consultancy?

    Asbestos management consultancy provides professional advice and support to help property owners, landlords, facilities managers and dutyholders manage asbestos risks effectively. This can include reviewing asbestos surveys, updating asbestos registers, creating management plans and advising on the actions needed to remain compliant.

    Do I need an asbestos management plan?

    If you are responsible for a non-domestic property where asbestos is present or could be present, you may need an asbestos management plan. The plan should explain where asbestos-containing materials are located, their condition, how they will be monitored and what procedures are in place to prevent accidental disturbance.

    What is the difference between an asbestos survey and asbestos consultancy?

    An asbestos survey identifies asbestos-containing materials within a property, while asbestos consultancy focuses on what happens next. A consultant can help you interpret survey findings, prioritise risks, develop an asbestos management strategy and make sure the correct controls and procedures are in place.

    Who is responsible for managing asbestos in a commercial property?

    Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the duty to manage asbestos usually falls to the person or organisation responsible for maintaining or repairing a non-domestic property. This could include a building owner, landlord, employer, managing agent or facilities management company, depending on the terms of the lease or contract.

    How often should an asbestos management plan be reviewed?

    An asbestos management plan should be kept up to date and reviewed regularly, particularly if there are changes to the building, its use or the condition of known asbestos-containing materials. It should also be reviewed following maintenance, refurbishment or any incident that could affect asbestos within the property.

      Chris at Blue Star did a survey for us on a property we were in the process of buying, made arrangements with the agents for access and communication was excellent. Provided helpful advice before and after the survey and again when I had another query several weeks later. The report itself is very easy to read and understand. Highly recommend. Thank you Chris!

      Asbestos survey Excellent - would recommend and use again. I spoke to six firms prior to choosing Chris. His communication and conduct was spot on - clear, transparent and easy to understand. The survey was conducted thoroughly, but with tact and understanding. His report was very detailed and provided all the advice I needed to re-negotiate with the vendor I was buying from. He also went above and beyond through assisting us in obtaining some removal quotes from other contractors. I would thoroughly recommend and use again.

      Asbestos sampling and testing Chris was immediately responsive to my request, and able to give a price up front for the works required. After a conversation to explain the scope of the work, we booked in Chris for the following week. He arrived on time, was able to take the samples required and send them out for testing very quickly. Whilst the invoice was issued after the samples taken but before the results given, they were turned around in two working days and Chris offered to talk through the results if required. If I needed to, I would absolutely use Chris again.

      Asbestos survey I have used Blue Star asbestos on a property renovation before, and got in touch again for another project. Chris was very helpful and runs a very efficient service. I would highly recommend his services before starting a refurbishment project to check for asbestos.

      Asbestos survey on home We recently moved into a new home and due to its age we wanted an asbestos survey before having work completed. Chris was very quick to respond, carried out the work professionally and had the report with us earlier than expected. Really impressed.

      Chris was on time, tidy, very pleasant and kept me well informed throughout the whole process. I received the report within a couple of days of the survey. The report itself was well presented, easy to follow and highlighted some issues which enabled me to get a reduction on the price of the house. I would thoroughly recommend any home buyer get an asbestos survey before they purchase and I would definitely recommend Blue Star.
