Asbestos & Environmental Compliance for Commercial Clients

Independent asbestos and environmental consultancy since 2004

HFS Environmental provides independent, UKAS-accredited asbestos and environmental consultancy services for businesses, contractors, local authorities, and property managers across the UK. Fast, fully compliant, and always impartial.

Your Independent Asbestos Consultant

Managing compliance across a commercial portfolio requires an experienced, accredited partner you can rely on: one who understands regulatory requirements, tight project timescales, and the need for clear, accurate reporting that stands up to scrutiny.

HFS Environmental has been supporting commercial clients since 2004. As a fully independent, family-run consultancy with dual UKAS accreditation for testing and inspection, we deliver the technical expertise of a large consultancy with the responsiveness and personal service of a specialist team who genuinely care about getting it right.
