Asbestos Surveys Keighley

Independent asbestos surveys in Keighley and Airedale

Ranson Surveying carries out asbestos surveys in Keighley and the wider Airedale area, as well as in Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford and across West Yorkshire. From traditional mill complexes and industrial units to offices and mixed-use properties, we provide clear, practical asbestos reports so you know exactly where you stand.

For most duty holders, the key document is the building’s asbestos register, which is produced as part of an asbestos management survey. This has been a legal requirement in non-domestic premises since the introduction of the Control of Asbestos Regulations, now consolidated as CAR 2012.

Any non-domestic property (or communal area) built or refurbished before the year 2000 may contain asbestos containing materials (ACMs). An asbestos survey identifies where these materials are, what condition they are in and how they should be managed.

Do I really need an asbestos survey?

The current regulations (CAR 2012) exist to protect anyone who works in, uses or visits a building that may contain asbestos. Many insurers now also expect employers and duty holders to demonstrate that an up-to-date Asbestos Risk Assessment and asbestos register are in place.

Larger or higher-risk sites will often require an Asbestos Management Plan alongside the register, with annual asbestos re-inspections recommended where significant ACMs are present. If refurbishment or demolition work is planned, an Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Survey will normally be needed before works begin.

As the duty holder, you can meet your obligations by appointing a competent asbestos surveyor to carry out the appropriate survey and provide a compliant report and register for your property.
