Airtech Analysis Limited

What Airtech Analysis Limited does

Airtech Analysis Limited is a UKAS-accredited, family-run asbestos consultancy headquartered in Writtle, Essex, established in 1990 and operating with a stated headcount of 7 employees. The company delivers end-to-end asbestos management services — surveying (Management, Refurbishment/Demolition, Re-Inspection), air monitoring with four-stage clearance, in-house laboratory analysis (bulk sample, TEM, SEM, asbestos-in-soil), removal project management, and consultancy and training — primarily to public and private sector clients across England. Its service portfolio is unified by a proprietary web-based Asbestos Management Portal that centralises survey reports, air monitoring records, and compliance documentation, and is operationally supported by a fleet of mobile UKAS-accredited laboratories enabling on-site testing, immediate slide reading, and 24/7/365 emergency response.

The business operates on a project-based services model with bespoke per-engagement pricing; no public pricing is disclosed. Notable enterprise engagements include London City Airport (£120k Air Traffic Control Tower enabling works), Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel (£90k phased refurbishment survey), and a Knightsbridge residential refurbishment managed by Applecross for owner Wilem Frischmann. Technical differentiation rests on BOHS-qualified surveyors (P401–P404) with a stated minimum five years' experience, accredited laboratory analysts, and a comprehensive compliance stack: UKAS ISO/IEC 17020 and 17025, ISO 9001/14001/45001, CHAS, Constructionline Gold, ATaC membership, and HSE RICE/AIMS proficiency scheme participation.

In 2024, ownership of Airtech transitioned from the founding family to Rick Taylor (15 years' asbestos experience) and Karl Hull (20+ years across management, consultancy, and removal), who now lead the business. The company explicitly positions itself as a focused, service-quality-driven alternative to larger UK asbestos consultancies rather than pursuing scale leadership. Underlying economics, growth rates, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; all inferences above are grounded in the limited operational, accreditation, and project-case evidence available.
