Who needs one
If your London property was built before 2000, a management survey is your starting point.
Landlords & property managers
Non-domestic London properties built before 2000 carry a duty to manage under CAR 2012 — a management survey is the standard evidence of compliance.
Commercial occupiers
Offices, retail units, restaurants, schools and clinics across London need an in-date management survey before contractor works or as part of routine H&S.
Buyers & lenders
Pre-purchase due diligence on London commercial property and HMOs typically requires a current management asbestos survey.
Facilities & estates teams
Multi-site portfolios benefit from a coordinated survey programme with a single register, re-inspection schedule and board-level reporting.

FAQs
Management asbestos survey — common questions.
What is a management asbestos survey?
A management asbestos survey is the standard survey required to comply with the duty to manage asbestos under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). It identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during normal occupation and use of the building, and assesses their condition.
How much does a management asbestos survey cost in London?
Management surveys for a typical London flat or small commercial unit start from £200 + VAT. Larger premises, multi-floor buildings and portfolios are priced on a fixed-quote basis after a short scoping call. Bulk sample analysis is typically £20–£35 per sample through a UKAS-accredited lab partner.
How long does a management survey take?
On-site time ranges from 1–2 hours for a small flat or office to a full day for larger or multi-storey premises. Full reports are normally issued within 5–7 working days, including lab turnaround. Faster turnaround is available on request.
How is a management survey different from an R&D survey?
A management survey is non-intrusive and identifies ACMs that could be disturbed during normal occupation. A refurbishment & demolition (R&D) survey is fully intrusive and is required before any work that disturbs the fabric of the building. R&D surveys are more involved, take longer and cost more.
How often do I need to repeat the survey?
There is no fixed legal interval, but HSE guidance and CAR 2012 require the register to be kept up to date and ACMs re-inspected periodically — typically every 12 months — to confirm their condition has not deteriorated.
Do you cover all of London?
Yes. Our surveyors are based in central London and we cover the City and all 32 boroughs, from Westminster and Camden to Croydon, Bromley and Hillingdon.
