Practical asbestos support that keeps property matters moving
Responsive, plain-English guidance for sales, lettings and managed properties across Jersey.
Speak to our team
One point of contact for common asbestos questions
Your team does not need to interpret technical asbestos information or give specialist advice. Refer the question to us and we will provide clear, proportionate guidance to the relevant parties.
- Review and explain existing survey findings for buyers and sellers.
- Arrange an appropriate inspection, survey or targeted sampling.
- Support pre-let, maintenance and property-management enquiries.
- Explain practical recommendations without unnecessary alarm.
Quotations that support a transaction
Where removal is appropriate, we can help source quotations from qualified contractors so the parties have credible costs for negotiation and planning. Buyers can understand potential hidden costs; sellers can quantify the cost or resolve the issue before it becomes an open-ended negotiation point.
Quotations should follow a confirmed material and scope so everyone is working from evidence rather than an allowance or guess.
Refer the question before it becomes a delay
Early advice can help keep expectations realistic and prevent uncertainty growing late in a sale, letting or maintenance project.
During a property sale
A purchaser, building surveyor or solicitor raises a concern; asbestos is mentioned in an older report; or a seller wants clearer information before negotiations progress.
Before alterations or refurbishment
The buyer intends to renovate after completion, a contractor needs information before disturbing the building, or the existing survey was not designed for intrusive work.
For lettings and managed property
A landlord or tenant asks about a suspect material, maintenance is planned, records need reviewing, or clearer information is required for contractors and communal areas.
From the first question to clear next steps
Send the property details
Share the address, property type, stage of the transaction and any reports, photographs or planned works already available.
We review the situation
We consider what is known, what decision needs to be made and whether a review, inspection, survey or sampling is proportionate.
We investigate where needed
Where further evidence is required, we agree the scope and arrange suitable inspection or sampling with the relevant party.
Everyone gets clear guidance
We explain the findings, outline sensible options and help source removal quotations where a confirmed scope requires them.
Clear information for landlords, tenants and contractors
For rented and managed properties, we can help clarify asbestos information before maintenance or improvement work begins and support clear communication between the landlord, occupier and contractor.
Depending on the premises and proposed work, support may include management surveys, asbestos registers and plans, record reviews, targeted sampling or a refurbishment and demolition survey for the areas that will be disturbed.

Asbestos surveys and transaction support for Jersey agents
Jersey Asbestos Limited supports estate and letting agents, buyers, sellers, landlords and property managers across Jersey. We recommend the inspection, sampling or survey scope around the property, its age, the proposed transaction or works, and the decision the report needs to support.
Contact us with the property address, type and current stage so we can recommend a proportionate next step.
Frequently asked questions
Can you review an existing asbestos survey?
Yes. We can review the available report, explain what it does and does not cover, and identify whether any further inspection is appropriate for the transaction or planned work.
Does finding asbestos mean the sale must stop?
No. Asbestos-containing materials can often be managed safely when they are in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed. Clear evidence allows the parties to consider proportionate options.
Which survey is appropriate during a transaction?
That depends on the property, existing information and proposed works. A management survey supports normal occupation; intrusive refurbishment work normally requires a survey targeted to the areas that will be disturbed.
Can you speak directly with the parties?
Yes. With the appropriate contact details and permission, we can explain findings to the agent, buyer, seller, landlord, surveyor or other relevant adviser in clear language.
Can you obtain removal costs?
Yes. Once asbestos and the required scope are confirmed, we can help source quotations from appropriately qualified contractors for negotiation, budgeting or project planning.
What should I send when referring a property?
Send the address, property type, transaction stage, areas of concern, existing reports or photographs, planned works and preferred timescale. We will advise on the next step.
