The law is clear: if you plan to disturb the fabric of a building built before 2000, you absolutely need an R&D asbestos survey. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 makes this a legal duty for anyone commissioning such work. Without one, you risk severe fines, project stoppages, and even prosecution. More importantly, you put the health of your workers, future occupants, and the public at serious risk. Our surveys are designed to find all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) before they become a hazard, protecting everyone involved and keeping your project legally sound in Marlow.

Unlike a standard management survey, a Refurbishment & Demolition survey is intentionally intrusive and even destructive in nature. Its aim is to locate all reasonably accessible asbestos materials, including those hidden within the building structure. Our qualified surveyors will gain access to areas you might not normally see, breaking into walls, ceilings, floors, and services voids to uncover any hidden asbestos. We systematically check all building elements, from pipework and insulation to textured coatings and roof spaces. This in-depth inspection ensures no stone is left unturned when it comes to identifying potential asbestos hazards.

If your project in Marlow involves any level of refurbishment, renovation, or demolition on a building constructed before the year 2000, this survey is for you. This includes:

• Major extensions or structural alterations.
• Knocking down a building entirely.
• Extensive internal strip-outs for office or retail fit-outs.
• Refurbishing industrial units or factories.
• Any work that will disturb the building’s fabric, potentially releasing asbestos fibres.
  It's essential that this survey is carried out before any intrusive work begins, allowing you to plan for safe removal and disposal.
