Asbestos Surveyor

Looking for an asbestos surveyor? Asbestos Register UK lists every HSE-licensed asbestos company in the UK, verified against the official HSE CONIAC register — and 164 of the 337 listed companies also provide asbestos surveys. A survey is the first step for any duty holder: it confirms whether asbestos is present, where it is, and what condition it is in, before any removal is quoted.

An asbestos survey should be carried out by a competent surveyor, and the analysis by a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Choosing from a verified register means you start with a licensed, accountable company rather than an unknown trader.

Management Survey or Refurbishment Survey?

There are two main types of asbestos survey. A management survey is for normal day-to-day occupation and locates asbestos that could be disturbed in everyday use. A refurbishment and demolition survey is more thorough and is legally required before any building or demolition work. Not sure which you need? Our asbestos survey guide walks through both, and the survey cost guide covers current UK prices.

All 337 contractors verified against the CONIAC register as of 16 February 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an asbestos surveyor do?

An asbestos surveyor inspects a building to find asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), records their type, location and condition, and takes samples for UKAS-accredited lab analysis. The result is an asbestos register and survey report that tells a duty holder exactly what is present and what must be done about it.

What is the difference between a management survey and a refurbishment/demolition survey?

A management survey is the standard survey for normal occupation, locating ACMs that could be disturbed in everyday use. A refurbishment/demolition survey is more intrusive and is required before any building or demolition work, finding all ACMs in the area to be worked on. See our asbestos survey guide for the full detail.

Are the asbestos surveyors on this register accredited?

Every company listed holds a current HSE asbestos licence, verified against the official CONIAC register, and 164 of them also provide asbestos surveys. For the survey itself, always confirm the surveyor or their lab is UKAS-accredited, which is the recognised standard for asbestos surveying and testing.

How much does an asbestos survey cost?

A management survey for a typical home often starts around 200 to 300 pounds, with larger or commercial properties costing more. See our asbestos survey cost guide for current UK prices, and get at least three quotes.

Do I need a survey before asbestos removal?

Usually yes. Before any refurbishment or demolition, a survey identifies what asbestos is present so removal can be planned and quoted accurately. If asbestos is already confirmed, you can go straight to a licensed removal contractor.
