It’s not just good practice; it’s the law. For any non-domestic property, or when undertaking intrusive work on a domestic property in Wokingham, a Refurbishment & Demolition survey is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This type of asbestos survey goes beyond a standard management survey. It’s specifically designed to identify all asbestos present in the area of work, even those normally hidden from view. Without it, you put your workers at serious risk of asbestos exposure and face potential heavy fines or even prosecution.

Unlike less intrusive surveys, our R&D asbestos survey thoroughly investigates your Wokingham property. Our expert surveyors carefully open up walls, lift floorboards, access ceiling voids, and inspect other hidden areas where asbestos might be present. We systematically collect samples of any suspected materials and send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This comprehensive approach means we won't miss any asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during your planned refurbishment or demolition work. We aim to give you a complete picture, leaving no stone unturned.

Imagine starting demolition, only to discover you've disturbed asbestos. That means stopping all work, evacuating the site, bringing in specialist asbestos removal, and facing significant delays and unexpected costs. A demolition asbestos survey prevents this scenario. By identifying all asbestos before work starts, you can plan safe removal strategies, protect your construction team from harmful asbestos fibres, and keep your project on track and within budget. Our service provides the essential information you need to work safely and efficiently.
