For any non-domestic property, and even for larger domestic projects, UK law is very clear. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) mandates an intrusive Refurbishment & Demolition Asbestos Survey before any structural alterations, major refurbishment, or demolition work takes place. This isn't just a recommendation; it’s a legal requirement. Skipping this survey puts workers, future occupants, and the public at serious risk of asbestos fibre exposure and can result in significant legal penalties for you, the duty holder or contractor. Don’t take that chance – protect your team and your project by complying with the law from the outset.

Unlike a more general Management Survey, our Refurbishment & Demolition Survey is designed to be highly intrusive. We thoroughly inspect all areas that might be disturbed during your planned works, including those normally hidden from view. This means we'll access wall cavities, under floorboards, behind plaster, in ceiling voids, and within service ducts. Our expert team methodically checks for all types of asbestos-containing materials, even those less obvious ones. We aim to locate every reasonably accessible ACM, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before any hammers start swinging or walls come down.

Once our thorough inspection is complete, we provide you with a detailed, easy-to-understand report. This isn’t just a list of findings; it’s a vital document for your project. The report clearly identifies the location, type, and condition of any asbestos-containing materials found. It also provides specific recommendations for safe removal or management before your refurbishment or demolition work can start. This clear information allows you to plan effectively, allocate resources, and ensure all contractors working on site are fully aware of any potential asbestos risks.
