Complete Asbestos Surveys were instructed to carry out an asbestos management survey at the Joules retail store in Ilkley on behalf of a property management company. The survey was requested by the building's insurance provider, who required up-to-date asbestos information as part of their ongoing risk assessment and compliance requirements. As the store remained fully operational throughout the inspection, the survey needed to be completed professionally and discreetly, ensuring there was no disruption to staff, customers or daily trading activities.

The Client's Challenge
The property management company required an asbestos management survey to satisfy a request from the building's insurance provider. Although there were no known asbestos concerns within the Ilkley premises, an up-to-date survey was required to demonstrate compliance and provide reassurance regarding the condition of the property.
As the building was occupied by a busy retail store, the survey needed to be carried out without affecting the customer experience. The client wanted the inspection completed quickly and discreetly while ensuring all accessible areas were thoroughly assessed.
Our Approach
We carried out a comprehensive asbestos management survey across approximately 85m² of retail and ancillary accommodation. The inspection included the shop floor, staff facilities, storage areas and all other accessible locations within the premises.
To minimise disruption, the survey was undertaken while the store remained open for business. Our surveyor worked closely with staff to access areas as required whilst maintaining a low profile and avoiding interference with customers or daily operations.
Throughout the inspection, no suspect asbestos-containing materials were identified within the accessible areas of the property. As a result, no samples were required and a detailed asbestos management survey report was prepared confirming the findings.

Positive Outcome
The survey confirmed that no suspect asbestos-containing materials were present within the accessible areas of the property, providing reassurance to both the property management company and the building's insurance provider.
With a compliant asbestos management survey report in place, the client was able to satisfy the insurer's requirements quickly and efficiently. The store continued trading as normal throughout the process, and the completed survey provided a clear record demonstrating the proactive management of asbestos risks within the property.
