Asbestos Management and Surveys
For any commercial building constructed before the year 2000, asbestos management is one of the most serious and complex areas of facilities management compliance.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 places a Duty to Manage asbestos on the owners or occupiers of non-domestic premises. Ignoring this duty poses severe legal penalties and significant health risks to anyone using or working on your building. FM247 provides expert, legally compliant asbestos surveys and comprehensive asbestos management plans nationwide.

Expert Surveys: Identifying and Documenting Risk
Our certified surveyors are highly skilled in locating and assessing Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs). We offer the full spectrum of necessary surveys, providing the accurate data required to inform your management strategy:
Management Surveys: The standard survey required to locate, identify, and assess the condition of ACMs that are likely to be disturbed during normal occupation and maintenance. This is the foundation of your ongoing asbestos management plan.
Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys: Intrusive surveys required before any construction, demolition, or major refurbishment work begins, to locate all ACMs that might be disturbed.
Sampling and Testing: Taking accredited samples for laboratory analysis to confirm the presence and type of asbestos.
The Duty to Manage: Your Clear Management Plan
Identifying asbestos is only the first step; effective ongoing management is the legal duty. FM247 creates clear, easy-to-implement Asbestos Management Plans that ensure full compliance with the 2012 Regulations.
Our management plans include:
ACMs Register: A detailed, living document of where all asbestos is located, its type, and its condition.
Risk Assessment: Determining the potential for fibre release and exposure risk.
Monitoring and Review: Establishing a schedule for regular reinspections to check the condition of known ACMs.
Safe Work Procedures: Ensuring anyone working on your premises is aware of the asbestos locations and follows strict safe-working practices (e.g., asbestos awareness training).
We handle the complexity, ensuring your risk is safely managed, accurately documented, and professionally communicated, allowing you to operate with confidence and peace of mind.
