Choose the service that matches the decision you need to make
Start with the purpose of the enquiry rather than automatically commissioning the most intrusive service.
Asbestos surveys
Management, Refurbishment, Demolition and Reinspection Surveys for homes, commercial property, public estates, energy-sector buildings and industrial sites.
Sampling & testing
Controlled collection of defined suspect materials with bulk identification through ASM's UKAS-accredited Sunderland laboratory.
Removal & remedial work
Management, repair, encapsulation or removal using the correct licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed route for the actual task.
Air monitoring & clearance
Background, leak, reassurance, personal and clearance monitoring, with four-stage clearance where the complete process applies.
Asbestos management
Registers, management plans, responsibilities, contractor controls and risk-based reinspection for relevant dutyholders and estates.
Asbestos in soils
Watching briefs, investigation support, controlled excavation, air monitoring, remediation input, capping and validation for impacted ground.
Inspection and testing are distinct from removal and remediation
UKAS inspection & testing
ASM holds UKAS accreditation number 32982 for defined inspection activities to ISO/IEC 17020 and defined testing activities to ISO/IEC 17025. Current schedules define the exact accredited scope and locations.
Removal & remediation
Asbestos removal and soil remediation are not described as UKAS-accredited activities. Licensable removal must use the correct HSE-licensed contractor route.

Agree the scope
ASM confirms attendance, access, assumptions, analytical requirements, deliverables and exclusions in writing.
Complete and act
Use the findings to manage, design, tender, remove, remediate or progress the next controlled project stage.
Local context built around Aberdeen's real building stock and industrial base
Aberdeen combines granite residential and civic buildings, older commercial property, universities and healthcare estates, harbour-linked industry, energy-sector offices and workshops, and active redevelopment around the south of the city.
Granite homes, flats & city property
Rosemount, West End, Union Street, Ferryhill, Old Aberdeen and surrounding districts include older homes, flats, townhouses, shops and offices with repeated refurbishment layers, service voids, roof spaces, basements and retained finishes.
Dyce, Altens, Tullos & energy-sector property
Offices, warehouses, workshops, yards, plant areas and support buildings can require survey or project scopes that consider high-level areas, service routes, permits, live operations and several buildings within one site.
Harbour, Torry & redevelopment
Harbour-linked sites and redevelopment around Torry, Cove Bay and the South Harbour can combine older industrial structures, demolition history and previously developed land, creating separate but coordinated building and ground-risk workstreams.
Coverage beyond Aberdeen city
Wider North East Scotland includes housing, rural commercial premises, energy and engineering property, ports, industrial estates and multi-site programmes. Travel, access and mobilisation are confirmed in the written quotation.
