Block Management Asbestos Surveys

Summit Environmental delivers expert asbestos services tailored for block management. We work across Sussex and the South East, helping property managers maintain safe, legally compliant buildings while minimising disruption to tenants and leaseholders.

Our team understands the practical and regulatory demands of overseeing multi-occupancy buildings and offers a seamless, end-to-end solution for asbestos management.

Asbestos Surveys for Managed Properties

Every managed building must be supported by a clear understanding of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) on-site. Our surveys follow HSG264 guidance and are tailored to your building’s age, use, and occupancy status.

We offer:

Management Surveys – For ongoing property use and compliance
Re-inspection Surveys – To monitor the condition of known ACMs
Refurbishment Surveys – Prior to planned works or upgrades
Demolition Surveys – Before full or partial property demolition

Survey results are presented in clear, actionable reports and can be directly linked to your asbestos register for continued compliance.

Air Monitoring and Fibre Testing

Controlling airborne asbestos fibres is essential during any refurbishment or removal works to protect the health and safety of all occupants and contractors. We offer UKAS-accredited air monitoring services designed to accurately measure fibre concentrations throughout your project. All testing is carried out in accordance with HSG248 guidance to ensure the highest standards of reliability and compliance.

Our air monitoring services include background air quality assessments, personal exposure monitoring for workers on-site, leak testing during works, and reassurance monitoring once the job is complete. We also carry out the full four-stage clearance process following asbestos removal, providing the necessary certification to confirm that the area is safe for reoccupation.

With mobile units and a rapid turnaround, we deliver efficient and effective monitoring with minimal disruption to your site operations.

Asbestos Management Plans

All duty holders are required to have a written plan in place for managing asbestos risks. We develop robust, legally compliant asbestos management plans designed around your property’s layout and occupancy.

Our plans include:

Location and condition of ACMs
Risk assessments and exposure controls
Monitoring and re-inspection schedules
Clear procedures for contractors and maintenance teams
Review timelines and record-keeping guidance

These plans form the backbone of your compliance and can be supported by our ongoing review and update services.

Strategic Consultancy for Block Management Teams

We provide property professionals with clear, expert guidance to help manage asbestos risks and ensure full regulatory compliance. Our consultancy services are tailored to meet the varied needs of block managers, housing associations, and estate teams. This includes conducting detailed compliance reviews and gap analyses, preparing thorough remediation scopes, and carrying out comprehensive risk assessments.

We also offer support with tender processes, provide independent audits, and can act as expert witnesses where required. For larger projects involving refurbishment or demolition, our team is equipped to oversee the entire process, ensuring everything runs smoothly and adheres to all legal requirements.

Asbestos Registers and Ongoing Compliance

Maintaining an up-to-date asbestos register is a legal requirement for any non-domestic property with known or presumed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). For block and estate managers, this register plays a vital role in keeping residents, contractors, and maintenance teams safe.

Following your asbestos survey, we produce a clear, digital register that records the location, condition, and risk level of each ACM on the premises. This register is fully compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and is formatted for easy use by site managers, contractors, and duty holders.

We also offer ongoing support to:

Review and update asbestos registers following any works or changes to the building
Conduct periodic re-inspections to monitor known ACMs
Train staff or site teams on safe asbestos awareness and control procedures
Provide reminders and compliance checks to ensure legal obligations are met year-round
