The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) clearly states that anyone responsible for refurbishment or demolition work has a legal duty to locate and identify all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) before work begins. This isn't just bureaucracy; it's about protecting lives. Unseen asbestos fibres, released during building work, can cause severe health issues years later. Our detailed surveys give you the vital information you need to plan your project safely, helping you avoid costly delays, fines, and, most importantly, exposure for your team and the public. We make sure you know exactly what you're dealing with.

Unlike a standard management survey, a Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is highly intrusive. Its aim is to locate all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during the planned work. This means we'll access areas normally hidden, including behind walls, under floors, in ceiling voids, and within the fabric of the building. Our experienced technicians will take samples of suspect materials, which we then send to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This detailed inspection allows us to identify the type and condition of any asbestos present, giving you a complete picture before your project starts.

If you’re a property owner, developer, builder, or contractor in Wendover planning any level of refurbishment, renovation, or full demolition, then an R&D asbestos survey is required. This applies whether you're converting a loft, knocking down internal walls, extending a commercial premises, or demolishing an old garage. Even if you think a building is new, if it was built or underwent major refurbishment before the year 2000, there's a reasonable chance it could contain asbestos. Don't guess; let our experts perform the essential inspection.
