Why risk it?

The hidden cost of ignoring asbestos & fire obligations.

As a duty holder under UK law, you’re responsible for identifying and managing asbestos and fire risks in the buildings you control. If you can’t evidence suitable and sufficient assessments, you’re exposed on three fronts:

  • Regulatory enforcement, improvement notices and potential prosecution
  • Personal liability for directors and duty holders after a serious incident
  • Insurers challenging or reducing claims where compliance can’t be demonstrated

Many insurance policies now reference compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and Control of Asbestos Regulations. If you don’t have current, documented assessments in place, your cover may not respond when you need it most.

Bellspire gives you a defensible position with regulators and insurers: clear evidence that you’ve identified hazards, assessed risk and have an actionable plan in place.

Insurer-ready documentation

Our reports are structured so underwriters can quickly understand your risk profile: asset register, risk ratings, and evidence of action taken. That makes renewals smoother and claims conversations easier.

“We were asked by our insurer to evidence updated fire risk assessments across the portfolio. Bellspire completed over 70 buildings in six weeks and produced reports our broker could take straight to market.”

Questions

Asbestos and fire risk FAQs.

If you have a specific question about your estate or insurer requirements, include it in the consultation form and we’ll answer it on the call.

How often do I need to update asbestos and fire risk assessments?

Asbestos management surveys should be kept up to date via periodic re-inspections—typically annually, or more frequently for higher risk premises. Fire risk assessments should be reviewed regularly and when there are significant changes to the building, use or occupancy, or after an incident. Many organisations work on a 1–3 year review cycle depending on risk. We’ll recommend an appropriate cycle during your consultation.

Will my insurer see your reports as sufficient evidence of compliance?

We design reports to align with typical insurer expectations: clear description of the premises, methodology, findings, risk ratings and action plan. We work with your broker or insurer on any specific information they require and can provide portfolio summaries to support renewal discussions.

Can you work in occupied residential and high-risk environments?

Yes. Our teams are experienced in live environments including social housing, healthcare and education. We coordinate with your resident liaison or FM teams, follow strict safety protocols and minimise disruption while still gathering the data needed for a defensible assessment.

What if you find serious issues during an assessment?

Where we identify immediate life safety concerns, we’ll escalate them on the day and provide clear interim control measures. Your final report will highlight these issues and recommended remedial actions so you can demonstrate prompt, proportionate response to regulators and insurers.

Is the initial consultation really free?

Yes. The consultation is a no-obligation conversation focused on understanding your buildings, risk profile and deadlines. You’ll receive a high-level view of your current position and a proposal you can use for internal approvals—even if you decide not to proceed.
