Manage the whole asbestos issue through one accountable team

Housing providers need more than individual survey reports. They need reliable information that stays current, supports maintenance decisions, protects residents and contractors, and turns recommendations into completed action.

Jersey Asbestos Limited can coordinate the full asbestos-management journey across your portfolio—from initial surveys and registers through ongoing monitoring, remediation planning and removal.

Direct delivery and specialist coordination

We can survey, sample, prepare management information, monitor known materials, undertake suitable non-licensed asbestos removal and support remedial work.

Where licensed materials require removal or remediation, we define the confirmed scope and arrange quotations from appropriately licensed contractors. This gives the housing provider clear information, comparable costs and a coordinated route forward.

End-to-end asbestos management

From portfolio knowledge to completed remedial work

Portfolio review and survey strategy

Review existing records, identify information gaps and prioritise surveys around building use, age, planned maintenance and risk of disturbance.

Surveys and controlled sampling

Arrange management surveys, targeted sampling or refurbishment and demolition surveys matched to the decision or work programme.

Registers and management plans

Turn findings into clear, usable records, responsibilities, actions and communication arrangements for each property or estate.

Monitoring and reinspection

Keep known or presumed materials under review and update information when condition, access, occupancy or planned work changes.

Remediation and non-licensed removal

Plan proportionate remedial action and undertake suitable non-licensed asbestos removal with the required controls and records.

Licensed-removal quotations

For licensed materials, confirm the scope and arrange quotations from appropriately licensed contractors to support governance, budgeting and procurement.

A controlled portfolio process

Consistent information across every estate and property

1

Establish the baseline

Bring together available surveys, registers, plans, property data, maintenance responsibilities and known programme dates.

2

Prioritise gaps and actions

Identify where information is missing, where materials need review and where planned work requires more intrusive investigation.

3

Deliver and coordinate

Survey, sample, monitor and complete suitable non-licensed work, while coordinating quotations for licensed-removal scopes.

4

Update and report

Keep records current, close out completed actions and give management teams clear visibility of priorities, costs and next reviews.

Occupied homes and communal areas

Plan work around residents, contractors and live buildings

Social and affordable housing portfolios combine individual homes, shared spaces, plant areas and building infrastructure. Survey access, intrusive work and remediation must be planned around occupancy, safeguarding, communication and the needs of residents.

We help identify what information each person needs without causing unnecessary alarm. Relevant findings can be explained in plain language to housing teams, maintenance contractors and residents while technical detail remains available for those planning the work.

Support for common housing scenarios

  • Planned kitchen, bathroom and heating programmes.
  • Roofing, window, fire-safety and energy-efficiency works.
  • Void-property inspections before re-letting.
  • Reactive repairs and unexpected suspect materials.
  • Communal areas, service risers and plant rooms.
  • Estate redevelopment, major refurbishment and demolition.
Planned works and responsive maintenance

Give every contractor reliable information before disturbance

Planned programmes

Use programme drawings and specifications to target intrusive surveys, plan enabling work and establish costs before contractors mobilise.

Voids and re-lets

Use the available window between tenancies to inspect relevant areas, update records and complete proportionate remedial work where appropriate.

Reactive incidents

Stop work in the affected area, secure the material and obtain competent advice when unexpected suspect material is uncovered.

A management survey supports normal occupation and foreseeable routine maintenance. Where work will disturb areas beyond its scope, a targeted refurbishment and demolition survey may be required before work proceeds.

Clear separation between non-licensed and licensed work

We do not blur the distinction. Suitable non-licensed asbestos removal can be delivered directly by our trained team. Work involving licensed materials is scoped using reliable survey information and quotations are obtained from appropriately licensed contractors.

Why this matters

Housing providers receive a clearer audit trail, a defined basis for pricing and fewer gaps between investigation, decision-making and delivery.

Records that support governance

Make priorities, actions and costs visible

Portfolio records should help operational teams brief contractors while also giving managers and trustees confidence that actions are being tracked. We can help structure survey records, reinspection dates, remedial recommendations, work status and supporting documentation so information remains useful after the initial survey.

Information we can work with

  • Property and estate schedules.
  • Existing surveys, registers and management plans.
  • Maintenance and capital-programme data.
  • Floor plans, drawings and asset records.
  • Known limitations and inaccessible areas.
  • Previous remediation and removal documentation.
Jersey asbestos guidance

Asbestos information must remain active and usable

Jersey’s asbestos Approved Code of Practice applies to premises used as a workplace, including domestic premises when work activities take place. Housing providers should confirm responsibilities for maintenance, common areas, planned works and the information supplied to people who may disturb materials.

We provide practical asbestos services rather than legal advice. Housing providers should refer to the Government of Jersey asbestos ACoP guidance and confirm the duties applying to their organisation and properties.

Frequently asked questions

Can you manage asbestos across our whole portfolio?

Yes. We can help review existing information, prioritise surveys, maintain records, monitor known materials, coordinate remedial action and report progress across the programme.

Do you carry out asbestos removal directly?

We can undertake suitable non-licensed asbestos removal. Where licensed work is required, we define the scope and arrange quotations from appropriately licensed contractors.

Can you work with our managing agent and contractors?

Yes. With clear authority and responsibilities, we can coordinate information and practical arrangements with housing teams, managing agents, consultants and contractors.

How do you prioritise a large portfolio?

Priorities can reflect information gaps, material condition, likelihood of disturbance, planned maintenance, occupancy and the consequences of delaying action.

Can you support planned refurbishment programmes?

Yes. We can align intrusive survey scopes with programme drawings and specifications, explain findings and help establish remediation or removal costs before work starts.

How should unexpected material be handled?

Work should stop in the affected area, further disturbance should be prevented and competent advice obtained before the material is touched or work resumes.
