What We Do


For the contractor and trades person: asbestosregister.com uses data that has already been gathered from an asbestos survey. It displays this information for contractors, trades and anyone else who needs it. The location, description, size and condition of all known or suspected asbestos materials are all listed. It also gives details of materials that are not asbestos and parts that were not accessed during a survey.

For the asbestos data provider: asbestosregister.com uses data that has already been gathered by asbestos survey and stored in your format. It displays information on asbestos materials within a property together with plans and photographs where available. It also records details of materials that are not asbestos, areas that were not accessed for inspection and other hazards present.

For the premises controller: asbestosregister.com uses data that has already been gathered from your asbestos survey. If your data is in digital format, whether database, spreadsheet or otherwise, then our system is able to display it in a standardised format. If your information is currently only held on paper, we will supply you with a number of cost-effective options for converting it into a digital format.
