Stone-built homes, older commercial premises, conversions and mixed-age properties can contain several phases of alteration, hidden services and later asbestos-containing products.

Commercial, healthcare & public estates

Offices, hotels, shops, schools, healthcare premises and managed estates need asbestos information that maintenance teams and contractors can use.

Frequently asked questions

Inverness & Highlands FAQs

Which asbestos service should I start with?

A Management Survey normally supports occupation and routine maintenance. A Refurbishment Survey is used before intrusive alteration, a Demolition Survey before demolition, and targeted sampling may suit one specific suspect material.

Does ASM have an asbestos laboratory in Inverness?

No. ASM's Scottish team supports Inverness clients and site attendance. UKAS-accredited bulk sample analysis is undertaken at ASM's Sunderland Head Office laboratory within its accredited scope.

Can ASM support the project after asbestos is identified?

Yes. Support can include management advice, removal planning, removal services, air monitoring, clearance support and contaminated-land services depending on the project.

Are ASM asbestos surveys and testing UKAS accredited?

ASM holds UKAS accreditation number 32982 for defined asbestos inspection activities to ISO/IEC 17020 and defined testing activities to ISO/IEC 17025. The current UKAS schedules define the precise accredited scope and locations.

Do you cover locations outside Inverness?

Yes. ASM undertakes projects across the wider Highlands. More remote attendance is planned around project scope, team requirements, access and programme.
