Inspection & testing

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

Removal & remediation

Removal and soil remediation are separate activities and are not described as UKAS accredited. Licensable asbestos removal must use the correct HSE-licensed contractor route.

How it works

03

Agree the scope

ASM confirms attendance, access, assumptions, analytical requirements, deliverables and exclusions in writing.

04

Use the evidence

Middlesbrough & Tees Valley context

Local property and industrial history that genuinely affects asbestos planning

Middlesbrough developed around rail, iron, steel, chemical and process industries and is now combining that legacy with town-centre, advanced-manufacturing and Middlehaven regeneration. Survey and project scope should reflect the real building or site rather than the postcode alone.

Town centre, Centre Square & commercial property

Middlesbrough's town centre combines Victorian civic buildings, retail, offices, education and newer commercial development. Refurbished premises can contain several construction phases, suspended ceilings, service risers, plant areas and altered internal fabric.

Iron, steel, chemical & engineering legacy

Middlesbrough grew rapidly through railway, iron, steel, chemical and process industries. Older workshops, factories, warehouses, service infrastructure and related sites can require more detailed asbestos and access planning than a straightforward office or house.

Middlehaven & riverside regeneration

Ongoing redevelopment around Middlehaven and the River Tees can combine refurbishment, demolition and brownfield questions. Standing-building asbestos and asbestos-impacted ground should be scoped as separate but coordinated workstreams.

TeesAMP & advanced manufacturing

Modern manufacturing and industrial development sit alongside older Tees Valley building stock. Live operations, permits, high-level access and service isolation can materially affect survey or project planning.

Housing, schools, healthcare & managed estates

Pre-2000 housing, communal areas, schools, healthcare premises and large managed estates need asbestos information that maintenance teams and contractors can use reliably rather than generic local-page wording.

Prepare the enquiry

What to send for an accurate written scope

Property or building enquiry

Full address, building use and approximate size, reason for the enquiry, existing survey information, plans, photographs, access restrictions and required dates.

Construction or groundworks enquiry

Drawings, scope of works, demolition or excavation sequence, previous investigation, site constraints, programme and any suspect asbestos evidence already found.
