If your building in Hertford or the surrounding areas was built before the year 2000, it's highly likely to contain asbestos. Before you start any intrusive work – like major renovations, extensions, or knocking a building down – the law (Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012) states you must have an R&D survey. This isn't just about ticking a box; it's about safeguarding workers from inhaling dangerous asbestos fibres and preventing serious health risks. Without one, you could disturb unseen asbestos, leading to significant project delays, hefty fines, and potential health tragedies.

Unlike a standard management survey, our Refurbishment & Demolition survey is highly intrusive. Our expert technicians gain full access to all areas of your Hertford property, including those not normally accessed during everyday use. We'll lift floorboards, go into ceiling voids, drill into walls, and open up sealed areas to thoroughly inspect and locate all asbestos-containing materials. This includes all types of asbestos that could be disturbed during your planned work. We're looking for everything from asbestos cement sheets and textured coatings to insulation boards, pipe lagging, and floor tiles. This detailed inspection allows us to identify and sample any suspicious materials for laboratory analysis.

Our certified and experienced team conducts thorough asbestos inspections specifically designed for the demands of refurbishment and demolition projects. We understand the unique challenges and the level of detail required for these types of surveys. Our aim is to provide you with a definitive picture of any asbestos within your Hertford property. This means you’ll know exactly what you're dealing with before a single hammer is swung, allowing for proper planning, safe removal if needed, and effective management of any remaining materials. Our work focuses on providing you with actionable information to proceed safely and compliantly.
