Contact ASM for Asbestos Surveys, Testing, Removal & Project Support
Tell us the property or site location, what you need to achieve and when the work is required. You do not need to know the exact asbestos service before contacting us — send the information you have and our team can help identify the appropriate next step.
From one suspect material in a home to national property portfolios, refurbishment programmes, demolition, asbestos removal, air monitoring and asbestos-impacted land, ASM supports projects throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
Stop further disturbance before trying to clean the area
Keep people away where reasonably practicable and do not sweep, dry-dust, drill, cut, scrape or use a domestic vacuum cleaner on suspect asbestos debris. Contact ASM with the site details and explain exactly what has happened so the appropriate next action can be assessed.
Three quick ways to start your asbestos enquiry
Use whichever route is easiest. Photographs, existing asbestos reports, drawings and specifications can help us understand the requirement, but photographs alone cannot confirm whether a material contains asbestos.

Best where the requirement is urgent, you are unsure which survey is needed or you want to discuss a project before sending documents.

What happens after you contact ASM?
Review
Your enquiry is routed to the relevant survey, laboratory, analytical, removal, soils or project team.
Define
We review the building, proposed work, information supplied and the decision that the asbestos work needs to support.
Quote
Where the requirement can be defined, a written quotation is prepared setting out the intended scope and relevant assumptions.
Deliver
The appropriate regional or specialist team is scheduled and the resulting information supports the next project decision.
Larger project, national portfolio or confidential instruction?
ASM supports corporate estates, construction programmes, property portfolios, major projects, renewable-energy developments and sensitive acquisition work as well as one-off property enquiries.
Commercial confidentiality is treated as an important project requirement. Asset lists, acquisition targets, controlled locations, client information and commercially sensitive findings can be handled under agreed NDA and project-specific document-control arrangements.
Corporate & national accounts
Multi-site surveys, reinspection programmes, management support, responsive sampling, analytical requirements and remediation coordination.
Major & infrastructure projects
Construction, demolition, industrial, wind, battery-storage, brownfield and other projects requiring coordinated specialist asbestos input.
Acquisition & international work
UK due diligence for overseas investors and selected international asbestos survey and consultancy work subject to project feasibility.
Does the project require more than asbestos services?
Some projects begin with an asbestos survey but then need removal, scaffolding, roofing, soft strip, demolition, construction, safety systems, solar or energy works. Where appropriate, the wider F&I Group provides access to complementary specialist businesses through one Group environment.
Asbestos
Surveys, testing, monitoring, management, removal and asbestos in soils.
Access & roofing
Scaffolding, temporary access, pitched roofing, flat roofing and associated roof works.
Construction
Soft strip, demolition, refurbishment, structural and associated construction packages.
Energy & safety

UKAS-accredited asbestos inspection and testing
ASM UKAS accreditation
Asbestos Surveying and Monitoring Ltd holds UKAS accreditation number 32982 for defined inspection and testing activities shown on its current accreditation schedules.
Defined inspection activities are accredited to ISO/IEC 17020 and defined testing activities to ISO/IEC 17025.
Important accreditation boundary
UKAS accreditation applies to the specific inspection and testing activities and locations shown on ASM's current schedules.
Asbestos removal, contaminated-land remediation, demolition, scaffolding, roofing and other Group services are not described as UKAS-accredited activities simply because ASM holds UKAS accreditation.
