When Do You Need an Asbestos Survey?
Asbestos surveys should be carried out before any substantial work on a building. They’re also very strongly recommended when buying or leasing properties—especially old ones. Asbestos is not always easily visible; it can be hiding behind ceilings, floors, or walls, silently creating severe health dangers. By arranging for an adequate survey at the right time, you avoid legal pitfalls, costly hold-ups, and potential exposure risks.
Before Renovations or Demolition
Renovating or demolishing a section of a building? The law insists on an asbestos survey first. Building work can release hidden asbestos, releasing lethal fibres into the atmosphere. No survey is a risk to contractors and residents alike. And it’s a risk that can lead to prosecution. FRA London offers expert, prompt asbestos surveys prior to any building work, so you can go ahead safely and legally.
Buying or Leasing a Property
If you’re buying or leasing property—especially if it was built before 2000—an asbestos survey is a wise investment. It uncovers hidden issues that could turn into expensive liabilities down the line. Our reports are upfront in their results, making it easier for buyers and tenants to make informed choices and negotiate fairly. FRA London produces detailed yet uncomplicated asbestos reports that estate agents, landlords, and prospective residents can rely on.
Ongoing Building Maintenance
Landlords, managing agents, and duty holders must always monitor their buildings and regulate any asbestos present. Wherever there is asbestos, it must be periodically re-inspected and regulated to protect anyone who is in the building. FRA London provides periodic asbestos inspections and helps you with straightforward control plans. We make sure you are still compliant with UK safety legislation—protecting both your property and its occupants in the long term.
After Natural Disasters
Events like fires, floods, or structural damage can release asbestos that was otherwise not detected before. In case your building recently experienced an event, it’s advisable to get a survey as quickly as possible. Damaged material can now pose an airborne risk. FRA London moves with speed, carrying out surveys and advising safe future action so your building becomes safe once more.
Health Concerns
If people in your building are experiencing unexplained respiratory symptoms—or if you’ve spotted damaged insulation or suspicious ceiling tiles—it’s wise to schedule an asbestos inspection. Long-term asbestos exposure is known to cause serious health conditions. FRA London provides fast, professional asbestos surveys to assess any potential risk and offer clarity. Don’t wait—early detection protects both health and peace of mind.
Different Types of Asbestos Surveys
We offer two main types of asbestos surveys here at FRA London to suit different property needs. A Management Survey is suitable for buildings under normal occupation. It covers all the accessible areas for a surveyor to determine whether asbestos is present and can be safely handled without causing any disturbance. A Management Survey is ideal for landlords and property experts who have long-term building occupation.
We offer Refurbishment or Demolition Surveys for greater detail specifications, needed before extensive construction or demolition. These are invasive surveys and examine hidden places for detection of any asbestos to be disturbed during construction. This is both for the well-being of workers and adhering to the law.
Our trained specialists at FRA London will recommend the right type of survey based on your building’s situation. You’ll get clear guidance and dependable service, ensuring your asbestos responsibilities are handled professionally and in full accordance with the law.
Our Fire Safety Services
FRA London offers a complete package of fire safety services to secure your building and comply with the law. Apart from fire risk assessments, our services include the inspection of fire alarms, testing of extinguishers, inspection of fire doors, and inspections for emergency lighting systems.

FRA London comprehensively tests your fire alarm system—detection, sounders, and control units—to ensure correct operation.

It also minimizes the likelihood of non-compliance fines or insurance claims.

Fire doors also assist in controlling fire and smoke. FRA London carries out professional inspections to confirm that doors are properly fitted, undamaged, and working. We inspect all the components such as seals, closers, and hardware in order to meet the latest standards of fire safety. Properly maintained fire doors are essential for safe evacuation and preventing fire spread.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the types of asbestos surveys?
Three primary forms exist demolition surveys to find all asbestos before demolition, refurbishment surveys before renovations, and management surveys to find asbestos throughout regular usage.
Do I need both a fire risk assessment and an asbestos survey?
Yes, if you are in charge of a property, you will need both. A fire risk assessment establishes whether your building is fire-safe, and an asbestos survey identifies dangerous materials that can harm health. They cater to different risks. Having both ensures individuals are safe and your building complies with legal standards.
What does an asbestos survey include?
An asbestos survey searches for any material containing asbestos in your building. We search in areas with ceilings, walls, and floors. If we see something unusual, we take small amounts carefully and have them tested in a lab. The report contains simple information that states what was found, whether it’s bad for you, and what to do next.
How quickly will I receive the report?
You can receive your report within 24 hours after we survey your property. That way, you won’t have to wait for days. We understand the importance of timeliness when it comes to the sale, a renovation, or even a council inspection. Even if it’s an emergency, we’ll work as fast as we possibly can without compromising on quality.
Are your services legally compliant with UK regulations?
Yes, all that we do is in compliance with UK law and current safety legislation. We have trained personnel, licensed methodologies, and adhere to any revisions of the law. Our reports are tailored to councils, insurers, and mortgage lenders. You don’t need to worry about being unsafe when you hire FRA London.
