Unlike a standard Asbestos Management Survey, which assesses accessible materials, an R&D survey is fully intrusive. This means we meticulously investigate all areas that will be disturbed during refurbishment or demolition. This includes breaking into walls, ceilings, floors, and other structural elements to locate hidden asbestos. Our expert asbestos surveying team will identify all hazardous materials, allowing for their safe and compliant asbestos removal before work commences. This proactive approach prevents unexpected delays, avoids costly project halts, and most importantly, protects everyone involved from dangerous asbestos fibres. This is a vital step for project safety in Dinnington.

If you are a property owner, developer, or contractor in Dinnington embarking on any of the following, an R&D survey is a legal requirement:

• Demolition: Complete or partial demolition of any building built before the year 2000.
• Major Refurbishment: Projects involving significant structural changes, removal of walls, ceilings, or floors.
• Extensive Maintenance/Repair Work: Where existing fabric of the building will be disturbed, such as replacing pipework, heating systems, or significant electrical upgrades.
  Both commercial and domestic properties in Dinnington fall under these regulations, highlighting the universal need for a professional, intrusive survey to ensure compliance and safety.
