Start with your property or project
Whether you are buying a home, managing a workplace or planning intrusive work, we will help identify the information you need before asbestos can become an unexpected cost, delay or safety risk.
Buying or selling
Understand potential asbestos risks and likely removal costs before committing to or negotiating a property transaction.
Managing premises
Surveys, registers and management plans for commercial premises, communal areas and other Jersey workplaces.
Planning building work
Use a refurbishment and demolition survey to locate asbestos in the areas the planned work will disturb before the project begins.
Training your team
Practical asbestos awareness training for people whose work could bring them into contact with suspect materials.
Surveys, testing and specialist support
Management surveys
Identify and assess asbestos-containing materials during the normal occupation and maintenance of premises.
Refurbishment & demolition surveys
Intrusive surveys targeted to the scope of planned refurbishment or demolition work.
Bulk sampling & analysis
Careful sampling of suspect materials with analysis undertaken by a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Air monitoring & clearance
Independent air testing, reassurance monitoring and clearance support where appropriate.
Asbestos management plans
Practical registers, action plans and review arrangements that help dutyholders control risk.
Commercial due diligence

Find the asbestos costs before they become a surprise
For buyers and sellers, the right information can support a fair and informed negotiation. Where asbestos removal may be needed, we can quote for suitable non-licensed work and help arrange licensed removal quotations, so buyers understand potential hidden costs and sellers can assess the benefit of completing removal before sale.

Not every asbestos-containing material has to be removed
Materials in good condition may often be managed safely in place. Our role is to explain what has been found, the condition it is in and the proportionate options available.

Understand your responsibilities in Jersey
Jersey has its own health and safety framework. Asbestos responsibilities arise principally through the Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law 1989, asbestos-specific ACoP 8 and the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos – Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 2008.
ACoP 14 provides wider health and safety management guidance and operates alongside ACoP 8; it does not replace the asbestos-specific code.
Before work disturbs the building
A standard management survey is not normally sufficient for intrusive refurbishment or demolition. The proposed work must be scoped and the affected areas properly investigated before work begins.
General information only. Responsibilities depend on the premises, contractual arrangements and work being undertaken.
Common asbestos questions
Do I need an asbestos survey before buying a property?
A survey is not automatically required for every private purchase, but suitable asbestos information can prevent unexpected risks and costs—particularly for older properties or where refurbishment is planned.
Which asbestos survey do I need?
A management survey supports normal occupation and maintenance. A refurbishment and demolition survey is more intrusive and should cover the areas affected by planned work. We can help you select the correct scope.
Do you carry out asbestos removal?
Yes. Jersey Asbestos carries out suitable non-licensed asbestos removal, subject to assessment of the material, its condition and the proposed work. Where licensed removal is required, we help arrange quotations from appropriately licensed contractors. We can also provide surveys and ongoing asbestos management support.
Does discovering asbestos mean it must be removed?
No. Depending on its type, condition and likelihood of disturbance, asbestos-containing material can often remain in place under an effective management plan.
