Manage information, not uncertainty
Reliable asbestos information helps owners and managers plan maintenance, brief contractors and respond to changes in a property without relying on assumptions.
- Locate and assess asbestos-containing materials.
- Maintain clear survey and management records.
- Inform contractors before maintenance work.
- Review plans when use, condition or access changes.
Plan remedial work with usable costs
Where repair, encapsulation or removal is recommended, we can help define the scope and source quotations from appropriately qualified contractors. This supports budgeting, planned maintenance and clear communication with owners and occupiers.
Services matched to the property and the work
Management surveys
Locate accessible suspect materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation, routine maintenance or installation work, and record their condition.
Registers and management plans
Turn survey information into usable records, priorities, responsibilities and arrangements for communicating risks to people who may disturb materials.
Reviews and reinspection
Keep information current when material condition, occupancy, access, maintenance responsibilities or the intended use of an area changes.
Targeted sampling
Investigate a specific suspect material using controlled sampling and analysis through a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Refurbishment projects
Use an intrusive survey targeted to the areas that planned works will disturb; a routine management survey is not designed for that purpose.
Remedial and removal support
Clarify recommendations, define the required scope and obtain quotations where repair, encapsulation or removal is appropriate.
Keep information active, accessible and useful
Understand the premises
Confirm property use, construction, accessible areas, responsible parties, existing records and foreseeable maintenance.
Survey and record
Agree the right scope, assess relevant materials and create a clear record of findings and limitations.
Plan and communicate
Set practical actions and make relevant information available before contractors or staff begin work.
Monitor and review
Check that arrangements remain suitable and update records when conditions, responsibilities or planned works change.
Give people the right information before work starts
Maintenance, installation and improvement work can disturb concealed or overlooked materials. Before work begins, contractors should receive relevant information about known or presumed asbestos in the areas they will access.
If the work is more intrusive than the existing information covers, pause and obtain advice on a targeted survey. Unexpected suspect material should not be sampled, drilled, cut or removed without an appropriate assessment and controls.
What should a property manager keep available?
- Current survey and sampling reports.
- A clear asbestos register and management plan where applicable.
- Plans showing relevant locations and access limitations.
- Records of condition checks, remedial work and removal.
- Responsibilities for review and communication.
- Evidence that information was shared before work.
Responsibilities follow control, use and maintenance arrangements
Jersey’s asbestos Approved Code of Practice applies to premises used as a workplace, including domestic premises when work activities take place. For rented business premises, the responsible party is usually determined by maintenance obligations in the tenancy agreement and responsibility may be shared.
We help owners and managers assemble the practical information needed to manage asbestos risks. You should confirm contractual and legal responsibilities for each property and refer to the Government of Jersey asbestos ACoP guidance.
Portfolio support
For multiple properties, we can help establish a consistent approach to surveys, registers, review dates, maintenance enquiries and planned works. This makes records easier to use across sites while keeping the scope appropriate to each building.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible in rented business premises?
The party responsible for maintenance is usually the dutyholder, but responsibility can be shared. Check the tenancy agreement and the actual control arrangements for the premises.
What should contractors receive before maintenance work?
They should receive relevant, current information about known or presumed asbestos in the areas where they may work, together with any access limitations or required controls.
How often should records be reviewed?
Review arrangements whenever circumstances change and at planned intervals appropriate to the property. Material condition and the effectiveness of controls should remain under review.
Is a management survey enough before refurbishment?
No, not where the work will disturb areas or building fabric beyond its scope. Refurbishment work normally requires a targeted, more intrusive survey before work begins.
Can you help manage several properties?
Yes. We can help structure a consistent programme of surveys, records, reviews and planned-work support across a Jersey portfolio.
Can you help budget remedial work?
Yes. Where asbestos and the required scope are confirmed, we can help source quotations from appropriately qualified contractors.
