The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) make it a legal requirement for anyone in control of a building or undertaking significant work to identify and manage asbestos. A standard Management Survey simply isn't enough for refurbishment or demolition work. You need an R&D Survey. This type of inspection is specifically designed to locate all asbestos materials, including those hidden within the fabric of the building, which would be disturbed during your planned work. Missing this step means risking dangerous asbestos fibres being released, putting workers and the public at risk, and leading to severe fines or even imprisonment.

Unlike a routine inspection, our R&D Survey in Aldershot is an intrusive and sometimes destructive investigation. Our expert technicians will gain full access to all areas, even those not normally accessible, to uncover every type of asbestos. This involves carefully taking samples from suspected materials – including within walls, under floors, behind ceiling tiles, and in service ducts – which are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for definitive analysis. This detailed level of investigation allows us to create a comprehensive report that gives you a complete picture of any asbestos present before your work begins.

The primary aim of our Refurbishment & Demolition Survey is to protect everyone involved in your Aldershot project. By identifying all asbestos-containing materials upfront, you can plan your work safely and effectively. This means you’ll know exactly where asbestos is, what type it is, and its condition, allowing for proper removal or management before any disturbance. This foresight not only safeguards health but also prevents unexpected discoveries that can cause significant delays, budget overruns, and potential legal action. Don't let hidden asbestos derail your plans.
