An R&D survey is a detailed, highly intrusive inspection of a building, specifically designed to locate all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that might be disturbed during refurbishment or demolition. Unlike a standard management survey, which only identifies easily accessible ACMs, an R&D survey delves deeper. This means our specialists in Dronfield will actively seek out hidden asbestos in areas such as within walls, under floorboards, above ceilings, or behind fixtures – places where ACMs might be concealed. This crucial step ensures no hidden asbestos surprises emerge once your building work commences, preventing costly delays and serious health risks. It's a fundamental part of responsible pre-refurbishment surveys and pre-demolition surveys.

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), it is a legal imperative for any duty holder – whether you're a property owner, developer, or contractor – to ensure that an R&D survey is carried out before any intrusive work. Failing to conduct a proper survey is not only incredibly dangerous but can also lead to severe legal penalties.
