The Basics

What is a P402 Asbestos Survey?

A P402 asbestos survey is carried out by a surveyor holding the BOHS P402 qualification — the nationally recognised standard for asbestos surveying in the UK. It is the legally required way to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in buildings constructed or refurbished before 2000, covering properties across Highland and the wider area.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 places a duty on building owners, landlords, and property managers to manage asbestos. A P402 survey provides the written register, risk assessment, and management plan required to fulfil that duty.

We deliver the full report within 5–7 working days, including UKAS laboratory analysis of all samples, a photographic register, CAD-marked floor plan, and a clear management plan with practical recommendations.

Survey Types

Management Survey

Non-intrusive. Required for all occupied pre-2000 buildings. Identifies ACMs likely to be disturbed in day-to-day use.

Refurbishment & Demolition Survey

Intrusive sampling. Legally required before any renovation or demolition work. Locates all hidden ACMs.

Re-inspection Survey

Keeps your existing asbestos register current. Required periodically per your management plan.

Highland FAQs

P402 Asbestos Surveys in Highland — Questions Answered

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a Highland property?

+
Yes, if the building was constructed or refurbished before the year 2000. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require a Refurbishment & Demolition survey before any intrusive work — this is a legal duty on the "dutyholder" (property owner, landlord, or managing agent). Nearly all Highland tenement and pre-2000 commercial stock is in scope.

What's the difference between a Management Survey and a Refurbishment & Demolition Survey?

+
A Management Survey is non-intrusive and identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during normal day-to-day use — this satisfies the duty to manage for occupied Highland buildings. A Refurbishment & Demolition Survey is intrusive (ceilings opened, panels removed), locates hidden ACMs before works, and is legally required before any renovation or demolition.

How long does a P402 asbestos survey take in Highland?

+
A typical Highland flat or small office Management Survey takes 1–2 hours on site. Larger commercial premises 3–6 hours. Samples are sent to an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory; results and the written report (with register, photos, and management plan) are delivered within 5–7 working days.

Are your Highland asbestos surveyors qualified?

+
Yes. We hold the BOHS P402 qualification ("Building Surveys and Bulk Sampling for Asbestos") — the industry-standard surveyor certification referenced in HSG264. All Highland surveys are delivered to HSG264 methodology with UKAS laboratory analysis and £5 million professional indemnity cover.
