Testimonials

We’ve worked with Lucion Services since 2018, and they’ve become an invaluable partner to our CP&P Minor Works team. Managing hundreds of projects a year across Manchester’s diverse portfolio, from our historic Town Hall to schools and leisure centres, requires a partner who truly understands our needs.

What sets Lucion apart is their responsiveness and consistency. Whether it’s a planned survey or an emergency requiring a 4-hour response, they deliver without compromising on quality. Their team knows our properties and procedures, and they communicate clearly with all our stakeholders. They’re not just contractors, they’re trusted partners in keeping our buildings safe and compliant.

Team Lead Manchester City Council

I wanted to just say a quick thank you for the work you have put in on the Wimbledon site and, in particular, the call that we held with the ET SHE management team – They advised that they were really impressed with the points that you covered and how you came across (and by association Lucion) in your advice.

The new NexGen portal represents a significant advancement in how we manage our compliance data. The modern, intuitive interface is a massive upgrade, and the dashboard’s six-tile layout provides exactly what we need for our board reporting requirements.

The system’s enhanced tracking capabilities allow us to monitor changes efficiently, with the data intelligence providing precise insights into our compliance journey. The improved search functionality through ‘My Sites’ is particularly valuable, eliminating the need for complex coding and making data access straightforward. The ability to generate targeted compendiums for specific areas has streamlined our contractor communications significantly.

One of the standout features is the ‘My Jobs & Reports’ section, which provides clear visibility of upcoming work, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. The user experience is notably improved, making data management and reporting more efficient than ever.
NexGen as a platform is a game-changer for our compliance management processes, delivering exactly what we needed in terms of functionality, accessibility, and user experience.

We’ve worked with Lucion for over 13 years now, and they’ve become a real part of our team at City of York Council. Whether it’s tackling big planned projects or responding quickly when something unexpected comes up, Lucion always delivers. They’ve helped us tighten up our compliance processes and make sure we’re keeping our residents and members of the public safe, something we really value. Their team is easy to work with, always keeps us in the loop, and brings real expertise to every job. We trust them completely with the safety of our housing and commercial properties.

Paul Simpson Compliance Manager

Lucion has proven to be an invaluable partner in managing our asbestos compliance requirements since 2016. Their resident-focused approach, combined with technical expertise, has made them a trusted presence across our housing portfolio.  

Their surveyors’ professional appearance and conduct have helped build resident confidence, while their thorough reporting and project management ensure we maintain the highest standards of safety. The renewal of our contract to 2029 reflects our confidence in their continued excellence.

Asbestos Refurbishment FAQ

Formerly known as a type 3 survey, it’s an intrusive inspection mandated by the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015. It identifies asbestos-containing materials before refurbishment, ensuring thoroughness by accessing all building areas. The survey is more intrusive than a type 2 survey and is essential for regulatory compliance.

Any building, domestic or commercial, in the UK built prior to the year 2000 may contain asbestos. Asbestos can remain in a building and be managed in-situ. Asbestos only becomes a problem once it’s disturbed, and asbestos fibres become airborne. Asbestos management is essential during the demolition process to ensure both the environment and people are protected from the harmful effects of asbestos.

Our detailed report pinpoints asbestos-containing materials requiring removal or treatment before refurbishment. Lucion’s asbestos project management team assists in choosing the best course of action: asbestos removal or in-situ management.

Our efficient NexGen compliance management software ensures quick turnaround times on survey reporting, providing you with timely and accurate information.

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, duty holders must manage asbestos risks. Lucion Services, a UKAS-accredited leader, guides clients in correct asbestos risk management, protecting individuals and the environment from asbestos exposure.

Our specialist asbestos management consultants assist in developing asbestos management plans, implementing documentation control systems, and conducting policy reviews, ensuring compliance to protect building occupants, the environment, and your organisation.
