Ignorance of asbestos presence carries severe risks, both to health and project timelines. For any non-domestic property built before the year 2000, or domestic properties where construction professionals are involved, an R&D survey is a prerequisite. This is not just about identifying easily visible asbestos; it delves into the very fabric of your Eastwood property. Failing to conduct a proper R&D survey before works commence can lead to accidental asbestos disturbance, worker exposure, hefty fines, project delays, and substantial unplanned costs. Our surveys provide the detailed information required to effectively manage and safely remove all ACMs before any ground is broken, safeguarding your team and the wider public in Eastwood.

Unlike management surveys, an R&D survey is intentionally destructive and fully intrusive. Our skilled surveyors meticulously inspect every part of the building that will be affected by the planned works in Eastwood. This includes breaking into walls, ceilings, floors, and other structural elements to uncover hidden asbestos insulation board (AIB), pipe lagging, textured coatings, and other potentially dangerous materials. Samples are then safely collected and dispatched to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate analysis. You receive a comprehensive report detailing the location, type, and condition of all identified ACMs, providing a definitive asbestos register for your Eastwood renovation or demolition project.

Commencing an R&D survey with Asbestos in Homes is a straightforward, customer-focused process. We begin with a detailed discussion about your specific project in Eastwood – its scope, timelines, and any particular areas of concern. Our experienced and fully certified surveyors will then arrange a convenient time to visit your property. During the survey, the building area undergoing works must be vacated for safety. Samples are taken with minimal disruption to surrounding areas not part of the project. Following laboratory analysis, you receive a clear, actionable report, empowering you to make informed decisions about safe asbestos removal, ensuring your Eastwood project proceeds compliantly.
