Independent.

Family-Run.

UKAS Accredited.

HFS Environmental has been providing trusted asbestos consultancy, testing, and inspection services since 2004, built on precision, integrity, and a genuinely personal approach.

Founded in 2004, HFS Environmental is a fully independent, family-run asbestos consultancy, UKAS-accredited testing laboratory, and UKAS-accredited Inspection Body. Based at our headquarters in Meopham, Kent, we primarily serve clients across London and the South East, while delivering services throughout the UK and internationally.

We combine scientific precision with a personal approach that larger corporate consultancies simply cannot offer. Every project is handled with direct communication, genuine accountability, and the kind of care that only comes from a business where reputation truly matters.

Our Story

What began as a small family business two decades ago has grown into one of the South East's most trusted asbestos consultancies, built on reputation, reliability, and long-lasting client relationships. Our growth has been driven not by acquisitions or corporate restructuring, but by consistently doing the right thing for our clients.

Because we remain family-owned and completely independent, our focus is solely on delivering the right results, not satisfying shareholders. Clients benefit from direct communication with experienced professionals, full accountability at every stage, and the personal touch that defines everything we do.

Our UKAS Accreditations

We hold two separate UKAS accreditations, ensuring the highest standards of quality, independence, and technical compliance:

UKAS ISO/IEC 17020: Inspection Body

UKAS ISO/IEC 17025: Testing Laboratory

Where We Work

From our base in Kent, HFS Environmental supports clients nationwide, from local authorities and housing associations to principal contractors, heritage consultants, and private property owners. Our expertise spans residential, commercial, industrial, marine, and heritage environments, with a growing portfolio of international project delivery for clients requiring UKAS-recognised standards abroad.
