Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), it's a legal requirement to have an intrusive asbestos survey before any refurbishment or demolition work begins on a non-domestic property, or even a domestic property where work is carried out by contractors. This isn't just a tick-box exercise; it's designed to protect everyone involved. Failing to carry out this essential inspection can lead to serious fines, project delays, and, most importantly, expose your workers and the public to harmful asbestos fibres. We help you meet your legal duties and ensure your project stays on track.

Unlike a standard Management Survey, our Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is much more intrusive. Our trained technicians in Addlestone will meticulously inspect and take samples from areas that might be disturbed during your planned work. This means we'll gain access to and check behind walls, within ceiling voids, under floorboards, in pipework, and other hidden spaces. The aim is to identify all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that are reasonably accessible or could become accessible during the work. This thorough approach ensures no dangerous materials are overlooked before any drilling, cutting, or breaking starts.

The primary goal of an R&D survey is to safeguard the health of everyone on site. Asbestos fibres, when disturbed, can become airborne and, if inhaled, pose severe health risks including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Our detailed survey identifies where these materials are, their type, and their condition. This crucial information allows you to plan any removal or encapsulation work safely, before your team inadvertently disturbs them. We help create a safe working environment, preventing potential health crises and ensuring your workers can carry out their tasks without fear.
