Asbestos compliance remains a crucial issue across London and the South East, where many schools, hospitals, retail outlets, and homes were constructed before 2000. Despite the long-standing ban, asbestos materials are still frequently encountered during maintenance and refurbishment works.
Recent enforcement actions across Greater London boroughs have exposed common problems, such as outdated asbestos registers and incomplete surveys. These issues increase risks for occupants, contractors, and project timelines.
Spectra assists duty holders with UKAS-accredited asbestos surveys, air testing, and licensed removalservices. This support helps organisations in London and the South East stay compliant with CAR 2012 and proactively manage asbestos risks.
Effective asbestos management protects individuals, prevents disruptions, and enhances confidence before commencing work.
