For GP surgeries, dentists, clinics & NHS estates
Healthcare Building Asbestos Surveys
Healthcare estates are a special case: infection-control protocols, patient safety, CQC scrutiny and continuous occupation all bear down on the survey approach. We survey primary care and NHS secondary care with clinical protocols in mind — dust control, out-of-hours access, and a register the CQC and NHS estates function will recognise.

GP surgery & primary care surveys
Practice premises tend to be small, occupied continuously through clinic hours and refurbished piecemeal over decades. We survey out-of-hours (evenings and weekends), reinstate immediately, and issue a management plan that identifies which materials must not be disturbed by the next dental chair install or IT cabling job.
Dental practice surveys
Dental surgeries are heavily serviced — compressor rooms, X-ray suites, floor-mounted amalgam separators — and typically contain more ACMs in plant than in the clinical space. We survey the plant rooms, ceiling voids and service risers with particular care, and produce a register the CQC inspector will accept as evidence of the duty to manage.
Clinics, aesthetic & specialist premises
Independent clinics and aesthetic practices carry the same duty as NHS providers. We survey with a light touch during clinic downtime and — because we are independent — never turn a finding into a sales pitch for removal.
NHS estates, CQC & framework contexts
For NHS acute trusts and community estates we work under framework arrangements or one-off procurement, with full RAMS, infection-control aware SSoW and pre-attendance briefings for ward managers. Reports are provided in the NHS estates asbestos register format on request.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Who is the duty holder in a GP surgery?+
It depends on the lease: for GP-owned premises the partnership; for NHS Property Services or CHP-owned premises, the landlord retains the base build and the practice holds any tenant works. We can survey for either.
Can you survey while we're operating?+
Yes, out-of-hours. Evening and weekend slots are standard for healthcare work at no premium.
How does infection control affect the survey?+
We operate under the ward manager's or practice manager's SSoW. Enhanced dust control, negative-pressure enclosures where required, and clinical-grade PPE for surveyors are all standard.
Is the report accepted by CQC?+
The CQC doesn't accredit specific reports, but a compliant HSG264 register with a management plan is the evidence of duty to manage they will expect to see during a well-led review.
How much does it cost?+
Fixed price per building. GP surgery typical fees are modest; NHS acute is quoted per building on a site-visit basis.
Do you work through NHS frameworks?+
We can respond to LPP, NHS SBS and other framework tenders directly. Portfolio programmes for community trusts and PCNs quoted on a rolling basis.
Are your surveyors DBS-checked?+
Yes, enhanced DBS as standard.
What about listed / heritage healthcare buildings?+
See our listed building page. We handle Victorian workhouse conversions, listed asylums and heritage GP surgeries regularly.
Do you cover the UK?+
Yes — nationwide rota. Same fixed-price approach across all four nations.
