Our Services in Oxford

Asbestos Management Surveys in Oxford
Management surveys identify the presence, location, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in occupied buildings. Required for ongoing compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, these surveys form the basis of your asbestos management plan.
Asbestos Re-Inspection Surveys in Oxford
Periodic re-inspections assess the condition of known ACMs to ensure continued safe management. Typically conducted annually or as specified in your management plan, re-inspections maintain compliance and identify any changes requiring action.
Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys in Oxford
R&D surveys are required before intrusive refurbishment or demolition work under CAR 2012. These fully intrusive surveys identify all ACMs in areas affected by planned works, enabling safe removal and compliance with HSE requirements.

Asbestos Compliance Context in Oxford
Oxford presents a distinctive set of asbestos management challenges shaped by centuries of architectural development. The city's world-renowned university colleges, many dating from the medieval period, have undergone extensive modifications throughout the 20th century when asbestos-containing materials were widely used in construction. These modifications mean that even the most historic buildings in Oxford frequently contain asbestos within modern additions, plant rooms, and service areas. Beyond the university quarter, Oxford's residential areas including Cowley, Headington, Jericho, and Summertown feature substantial quantities of post-war and mid-century housing where asbestos was routinely used in roofing, insulation, and internal fittings. The city's growing commercial and science sector, centred around the Oxford Business Park and Headington, generates continuous demand for R&D surveys as older commercial premises are refurbished to meet modern standards. Educational institutions beyond the university, including Oxford Brookes and numerous schools managed by Oxfordshire County Council, carry ongoing statutory duties to manage asbestos effectively under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Our team's familiarity with Oxford's diverse property landscape ensures efficient, compliance-led service whether the project involves a listed college building, a 1960s housing block in Blackbird Leys, or a laboratory conversion in the science parks.
