OUR PHILOSOPHY

Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey in The South of England

Planning any major building work in The South of England? Whether you're renovating, refurbishing, or completely demolishing a property, a Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey is an essential, legally required step. At Southern Asbestos, we specialise in conducting thorough, HSE-compliant surveys to identify and assess all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) before any work begins. This critical inspection ensures the safety of everyone on site, prevents hazardous fibre release, and keeps your project compliant with UK regulations.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) places a clear legal duty on building owners and duty holders to manage asbestos. For any work involving refurbishment or demolition, you must have an intrusive asbestos survey carried out. This is not just a recommendation; it's a mandatory requirement to locate and identify all ACMs before they are disturbed. Without this vital information, you risk exposing workers and the public to dangerous asbestos fibres, leading to serious health risks and significant legal penalties. Don't take chances with your project in Slough, Berkshire, or anywhere across the South of England.

Our Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey is a far more in-depth and intrusive inspection than a standard Management Survey. The aim is to locate all asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during refurbishment or demolition work, even those hidden within the building fabric. This involves destructive inspection to gain full access to all areas, including beneath floorboards, behind walls, in ceiling voids, and within structural elements. Our expert team will take samples of any suspected materials, which are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for definitive analysis to identify the type and level of asbestos present.

It's important to know the difference between the two main types of asbestos surveys. A Management Survey is designed to locate and manage asbestos during the normal occupation and maintenance of a building. In contrast, a Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is specifically required before any intrusive work, aiming to find all reasonably accessible asbestos, including areas that wouldn't normally be disturbed. This level of detail is crucial for safely planning your refurbishment or demolition work across The South of England.

Fantastic service. We had some old asbestos floor tiles that needed removing. The team was fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They handled all the waste disposal and provided the consignment note as promised. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
