The Guild - FAQs

The ASG is the Asbestos Surveyors Guild, a register that demonstrates the competence of those who undertake asbestos surveys in the United Kingdom through a means of structured verification and auditing.

By registering with the ASG you are demonstrating your commitment to improving the asbestos surveying sector. But to be honest, if you really need to ask this question, maybe The Asbestos Surveyors Guild isn't for you... Yet!

Not yet! The ASG is a new initiative, but with your help and commitment to improving the asbestos surveying sector, then it will grow, it will become recognised. I will also add, with my drive, tenacity and a little bit of cheek, I will make the Guild what it should be, the place to register if you are a serious asbestos surveyor.

Registration is £350.00 per person, then an ongoing annual fee of £295.00. There are additional costs, as an example, to progress through the levels of registration, you will be required to submit 2 asbestos surveys to be audited. The audits will be carried out by industry professionals with knowledge, experience and expertise in asbestos surveying. They will require payment for their time, so a fee of between £80 and £180 per survey review, the price is dependent on the size and extent of the survey submitted. More detail on pricing will be available as the website pages are released for viewing.

At the moment, it's just me, Paul Beaumont. I have approached several organisations and authorities over the last couple of years and asked if they would have an interest in setting something like this up, none took up the offer. As mentioned, at this time, it is just me, but I really need help. I have funded everything so far, there is no hidden benefactor, no sponsorship or endless pot of gold that I can dip into. If you believe you have the want and desire to assist in the Guild, I'm not looking for your money, let me know via the contact us form at the bottom of the page.

Absolutely not, if I could offer free registration, then I would. The problem is, it needs funding, this will be achieved by membership fees and services. Th Guild is a Not-for-Profit organisation. Excess funds will be donated annually to an asbestos related charity. Trust me, no one is going to be a millionaire out this, it's all about improving the sector, not directors bank accounts.
