💼 Why Choose Pinnacle Asbestos Solutions?

We’re Not UKAS-Accredited — And That’s a Good Thing!

Many clients ask if we are UKAS-accredited. While UKAS accreditation is often thought to be the gold standard, it is not a requirement for conducting compliant asbestos surveys.

Here’s why you should not assume that UKAS accreditation always means better service:

🚫 Why Not Being UKAS Can Benefit You

• Lower Costs, Same Quality
  UKAS-accredited firms charge for their accreditation overheads — and they pass those costs on to you. As a non-UKAS company, we focus solely on delivering value for money without unnecessary premiums.
  
  

• Fast, Flexible Service
  Without the red tape of UKAS requirements, we can offer quicker response times and faster reports. This flexibility means we can often get to your site and return results much faster than larger firms.
  
  

• No Compromise on Quality
  We work strictly within the guidelines of HSG264 (the Health and Safety Executive’s approved code of practice), and all our asbestos surveys are compliant with legal standards. The quality of service you receive is no less than that of a UKAS-accredited company.
  
  

• Certified, Experienced Surveyors
  Our surveyors hold BOHS P402 certification and have years of experience in asbestos surveying and compliance. We also use UKAS-accredited labs to test samples, so your results are verified by trusted industry standards.
  
  

🤔 Why UKAS-Accredited Does Not Always Mean the Best

It’s easy to assume that UKAS accreditation automatically guarantees the best quality, but that’s not the case. What really matters is the experience, skill, and expertise of the surveyors. Here are a few reasons why UKAS doesn’t always mean superior service:

1. Accreditation Is Just Paperwork
   UKAS accreditation is essentially an administrative process that ensures a company follows certain protocols. It doesn’t guarantee a higher level of competence or on-site performance.
   
   

2. Larger Companies, Less Personal Service
   UKAS-accredited firms often have larger teams and more rigid procedures, which can result in less personalized service. With us, you deal directly with the experienced consultant who will be carrying out the survey.
   
   

3. Hidden Costs
   UKAS-accredited companies often add significant overheads to their services due to the costs associated with maintaining accreditation. This can make them more expensive without offering any significant improvement in the quality of service.
   
   

4. Slower Turnaround Times
   Larger firms with UKAS status may have more clients to serve, resulting in longer waiting times for appointments and slower report deliveries. At Pinnacle, we pride ourselves on quick and flexible response times.
