Professional Asbestos Surveys Across the UK & Ireland — UKAS Accredited to ISO 17020

Knowing whether asbestos is present in your building is not optional — it is a legal requirement. As a duty holder, your first step towards compliance under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) is to locate, assess, and record any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within your premises. At Scopus, we make that process straightforward, thorough, and fully compliant — giving you the knowledge and documentation you need to protect your people and your property.

Asbestos Management Surveys – Your Legal Starting Point

For most duty holders and property managers, an Asbestos Management Survey is the essential first step. Conducted in accordance with HSG264 – Asbestos: The Survey Guide – this thorough yet non-intrusive survey identifies the location, type, condition, and extent of any ACMs present throughout your premises during normal operations and foreseeable maintenance activities.

The resulting survey report and Asbestos Register becomes a living, working document – a critical tool for the ongoing safety of everyone who uses, maintains, or works within your building. That’s why Scopus provides all clients with access to our secure Client Portal, giving you 24/7 access to your asbestos records from anywhere in the world.

Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys – Essential Before Any Building Work

Planning refurbishment, renovation, or demolition works? Before any work that could disturb asbestos-containing materials takes place, you are legally required under Regulation 5 of CAR 2012 to commission an Asbestos Refurbishment and/or Demolition Survey. This more intrusive and comprehensive survey ensures you have a suitable and sufficient assessment in place before works begin – protecting your workforce, your contractors, and your legal position.

At Scopus, we tailor the scope of every refurbishment and demolition survey to your specific project, ensuring you have precisely the information you need – nothing more, nothing less.

Asbestos Re-Inspection Surveys – Staying Compliant Year After Year

Compliance doesn’t stop at the initial survey. Under Regulation 4 of CAR 2012, duty holders are required to regularly monitor the condition of known ACMs within their buildings. The frequency of re-inspection surveys is determined by risk assessment, but annual re-inspections are widely regarded as the industry standard.

Scopus provides scheduled re-inspection surveys to keep your asbestos register up to date, your risk assessments current, and your compliance obligations firmly on track – year after year.
