Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), anyone responsible for maintenance or repair in non-domestic premises has a 'duty to manage' asbestos. However, for any project involving refurbishment or demolition, this duty extends significantly. You are legally required to locate all ACMs within the property's structure that could be disturbed by the works. This includes hidden asbestos materials often found within walls, under floors, or above ceilings. Our R&D surveys provide the definitive assessment needed, giving you a detailed report on the location, type, and condition of all ACMs. This crucial information allows for precise asbestos removal planning, preventing dangerous fibre release during construction activities and avoiding costly delays or potential legal repercussions.

A Refurbishment & Demolition Survey is a thorough and fully intrusive inspection. Unlike a Management Survey, which focuses on accessible areas, an R&D survey systematically deconstructs parts of the building to uncover all ACMs, including those concealed within the fabric of the structure. Our trained and certified surveyors will meticulously inspect areas like wall cavities, ceiling voids, floor structures, service risers, and plant rooms. Samples of suspect materials are safely collected and sent to UKAS-accredited laboratories for accurate analysis. The resulting report provides an exhaustive asbestos register, pinpointing the exact location of all ACMs. This detailed mapping is indispensable for contractors, allowing them to plan their work effectively and schedule safe asbestos removal before demolition or refurbishment begins.

While primarily associated with commercial and industrial properties, any building constructed or significantly refurbished before 2000 in Bingham could contain asbestos. This makes an R&D survey vital for various clients. Property developers, construction companies, demolition contractors, landlords, and facilities managers undertaking renovation or demolition projects are legally obligated. Even homeowners in Bingham planning extensive renovations, such as moving walls or removing ceilings in older properties, should consider this survey to protect their family and tradespeople. For commercial projects, our services are delivered through BESA PROPERTY SERVICES LTD, upholding the same rigorous standards of safety and professionalism. We cover both domestic and commercial clients across Bingham and the wider East Midlands.
