📋 CAR 2012 Regulation 4 — Duty to Manage
Public authorities have a statutory duty to manage asbestos in their premises. This requires a current asbestos register, a management plan and action where ACMs present a risk. Failure to comply can result in prosecution and unlimited fines.

📞 01782 613773It is a statutory requirement under CAR 2012 that duty holders manage any asbestos in their property. A good starting point is to have an asbestos survey undertaken to identify all ACMs in the form of a register, and to have a current asbestos management plan in place.
Yes, provided the risks are fully controlled and with clear resident communication. We use sealed enclosures and negative pressure units to stop the spread and exposure of airborne asbestos fibres to tenants and building users.
Always for licensed asbestos-containing materials. A UKAS-accredited analytical company is employed to certify the area safe for normal reoccupation. This is a legal requirement under CAR 2012 and cannot be omitted.
We offer a 24/7 callout service and can usually mobilise within just a few hours to make the area safe. For schools where an ACM has been damaged: evacuate and isolate the area immediately, then call us — we will arrange air testing to determine spread and advise on the correct course of action.

Licensed asbestos work requires a statutory minimum of 14 days notification to the HSE before we can commence on site. As a minimum, secure your slot 3–4 weeks ahead to allow for planning and preparation of documentation. For larger projects, more lead time will be needed.
Typically every 12 months, or more frequently if the risk of disturbance or damage to asbestos-containing materials is higher. This is a requirement under your asbestos management plan as a duty holder under CAR 2012.
Yes. We undertake a thorough assessment before commencement, then segregate and remove asbestos contamination from soils and reinstate surfaces as required. Essential for brownfield enabling works and estate redevelopment schemes.
