With over 22 years of industry experience and offices serving the South of England and South Wales, we help businesses, public sector organisations and property owners identify, manage and comply with asbestos regulations through accurate surveys and practical advice.
Canterbury is one of Kent’s most historic and economically important cities, combining a vibrant commercial centre with internationally recognised universities, schools, healthcare facilities, hospitality businesses and heritage buildings. Many properties across the city were constructed or refurbished during periods when asbestos-containing materials were widely used, making professional asbestos surveys an essential part of responsible property management and redevelopment.
Whether you are planning refurbishment works, purchasing a commercial property or fulfilling your duty to manage asbestos, our experienced consultants provide reliable advice and fully compliant asbestos services tailored to your project.

Helping You Meet Your Legal Responsibilities
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations, those responsible for non-domestic premises have a legal duty to identify and manage asbestos where it is present. The correct asbestos survey provides essential information to safely plan maintenance, refurbishment and redevelopment works while protecting employees, contractors and visitors.
Our experienced consultants will recommend the most appropriate survey for your property and explain the findings in clear, practical terms, helping you make informed decisions and maintain compliance.
What type of asbestos survey do I need?
The correct survey depends on the planned works and the use of the building. Management surveys are generally appropriate for occupied premises, while refurbishment and demolition surveys are required before intrusive works begin.
Do you work with both small businesses and large organisations?
Yes. Core Surveys supports organisations of every size, from independent businesses and landlords to NHS Trusts, universities, local authorities, national contractors and the Ministry of Defence.
Can you provide asbestos testing and air monitoring?
Yes. We provide asbestos sampling, laboratory analysis and air monitoring through our experienced in-house team, enabling an efficient and coordinated service.
Do you only work in Canterbury?
No. While we regularly undertake projects throughout Canterbury and Kent, Core Surveys operates nationwide from offices in East Sussex and South Wales, supporting clients across the UK.
