Asbestos Re-inspections and Management Plans
Once an asbestos management survey has been completed and an asbestos register created, duty holders are legally required to keep this information up to date. This is done through regular asbestos re-inspections and the ongoing review and maintenance of the asbestos management plan.
Ranson Surveying provides asbestos re-inspections and management plan updates across Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Keighley, Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region. Whether you manage a single building or a large estate, we ensure continued compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).
What is an asbestos re-inspection?
An asbestos re-inspection is a follow-up assessment to check the current condition of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) previously identified in your building. During a re-inspection we:
- Review your existing asbestos register
- Inspect all known ACMs for damage or deterioration
- Update risk assessments for each item
- Provide an updated report and register
Re-inspections are typically required every 12 months, although certain buildings may require more frequent checks depending on risk, occupancy and use.
What is an asbestos management plan?
An asbestos management plan outlines how asbestos will be safely managed in your building. It is a legal requirement for all non-domestic premises built before the year 2000. Your plan should be reviewed and updated after every re-inspection.
Your management plan includes:
- Details of all known asbestos in the building
- Roles and responsibilities of duty holders
- Procedures for monitoring ACMs
- Emergency arrangements
- Revised action plans where risks increase
Do I need both?
Yes — the re-inspection updates your asbestos register, and the management plan ensures the information is acted upon correctly. Both are required for full compliance with CAR 2012.

Have had a great experience. Had an urgent need to get an asbestos survey done for a mortgage application. Fast, helpful response and very competitive pricing. I’d happily recommend Ranson Surveying to others.

Asbestos Re-inspections & Management Plans - Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need an asbestos re-inspection?
As a general guide, asbestos re-inspections are usually required every 12 months. Higher risk buildings in heavy use may need more frequent checks. During the re-inspection we review the condition of all known asbestos containing materials and update your asbestos register.
Do I legally need an asbestos management plan?
Yes. For non-domestic properties built before the year 2000, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require duty holders to have an asbestos management plan in place. The plan should explain how asbestos will be monitored, controlled and communicated to anyone who may disturb it.
What is the difference between an asbestos survey and an asbestos re-inspection?
An asbestos survey is the initial inspection that identifies the presence, type and location of asbestos containing materials. An asbestos re-inspection is a follow up visit that checks the current condition of these materials, updates risk assessments and keeps your asbestos register accurate over time.
Who is responsible for arranging asbestos re-inspections and management plans?
The duty holder is responsible. This is usually the person or organisation in charge of maintenance and repairs, for example a landlord, facilities manager, head teacher, business owner or managing agent. Ranson Surveying works with duty holders to deliver compliant re-inspections and management plans.
