What We Do

Independent Asbestos Consultancy — When You Need an Expert in Your Corner

An asbestos consultant provides expert guidance that sits alongside — rather than replacing — your contractor. We review survey reports, challenge assumptions, identify gaps, and give you a clear, independent picture of what's present, what the risks are, and what options you have. This is particularly valuable when you've received conflicting advice, when a large or complex property is involved, when a transaction or development project depends on the outcome, or when you simply want to understand whether an existing asbestos management strategy is adequate and legally sound. Our consultants hold BOHS P402 and P405 qualifications and provide genuinely impartial advice that is not driven by the commercial interest of any particular contractor.

  • Independent review and critique of existing asbestos surveys and registers
  • Long-term asbestos management strategy for complex or multi-site portfolios
  • Pre-acquisition asbestos due diligence for property developers and investors
  • Expert witness and technical support for disputes, claims, and legal matters
  • BOHS P402 and P405 qualified consultants — the industry-leading qualifications

Our Consultancy

What Our Consultants Provide

Independent Advice

Our consultants have no financial interest in upselling removal work. We give you honest, impartial advice on what you actually need to do — and what you don't — based on the evidence in front of us.

Survey Reviews

We review existing surveys for adequacy, scope, and compliance. We identify under-surveyed areas, questionable presumptions, and missing materials — and advise on whether a new or supplementary survey is warranted.

Management Plans

We build long-term asbestos management strategies for property portfolios — prioritised by risk, costed by phase, and designed to bring you into and keep you in full compliance over a defined timescale.

BOHS Qualified

All consultancy is delivered by BOHS P402 and P405 qualified professionals — the industry-recognised standard for asbestos surveying and management. Our advice stands up to regulatory scrutiny.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an asbestos consultant do differently from a contractor?
An asbestos contractor carries out physical work — surveys, sampling, or removal. An asbestos consultant provides expert guidance and oversight — reviewing what others have done, advising on whether the work was adequate, and helping you make informed decisions about the management of asbestos risk. A consultant is particularly valuable when you need an independent second opinion, when you are making a significant financial decision (such as a property acquisition), or when you are managing a large or complex portfolio and need strategic advice rather than just a single job done.
Can you review a survey that was carried out by another company?
Yes — reviewing third-party surveys is one of our most common instructions. We assess the survey against UKAS accreditation standards and HSG264 guidance, checking scope, sampling strategy, risk ratings, and whether all accessible areas were covered. We provide a written review report identifying any shortfalls and recommending whether the survey is adequate for your purposes or whether supplementary work is needed. This is particularly valuable for due diligence on acquisitions or before beginning refurbishment work.
Do you offer ongoing retainer consultancy for property portfolios?
Yes. For larger landlords, property management companies, and commercial occupiers with multiple sites, we offer a retained consultancy arrangement — a fixed annual fee for a defined scope of advisory services. This typically includes an annual compliance review across the portfolio, ad-hoc advice on new acquisitions or planned works, contractor briefings, and policy updates. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and we will tailor a retainer scope accordingly.
