Asbestos Re-Inspection Surveys

Asbestos re-inspection surveys are a critical component of ongoing asbestos management and a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. HSG264 guidance recommends that identified ACMs are re-inspected at intervals of no more than 6 to 12 months, depending on their risk rating and the nature of the building's use.

Condition Monitoring: Our BOHS P402-qualified surveyors systematically revisit every ACM recorded in your asbestos register, assessing for signs of deterioration, damage, disturbance, or environmental change since the last inspection. This includes checking for cracking, abrasion, water damage, delamination, and any evidence of unauthorised work or interference.

Risk Score Reassessment: Updated Material Assessment and Priority Assessment scores are calculated for each ACM, reflecting any changes in condition or building use. Where ACM conditions have worsened, revised management recommendations are issued, including escalation to remediation or removal where appropriate.

Register Updates: Following each re-inspection, your asbestos register is updated with current condition data, revised risk scores, new photographs where relevant, and a clear record of the inspection date and surveyor details. This provides a documented compliance trail for HSE inspection or insurance audit.

Programmed Inspections: For portfolio clients, we establish rolling re-inspection programmes aligned to your compliance calendar, ensuring no property falls outside its re-inspection window. Automated reminders and scheduling reduce the administrative burden on facilities teams.

Re-inspection surveys are essential for commercial landlords, schools, NHS trusts, local authorities, and any dutyholder with an existing asbestos register requiring ongoing monitoring.
