Undertaking any intrusive work in Leicester without a thorough R&D survey puts everyone at significant risk. Disturbing hidden asbestos materials releases dangerous fibres, creating health hazards for workers and future occupants. Beyond safety, failing to conduct a pre-construction asbestos testing can lead to severe project delays, significant financial penalties, and potential legal action under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Our service provides the crucial information needed for safe demolition and renovation compliance, allowing you to plan your Leicester project with complete confidence and peace of mind.

Our R&D surveys Leicester are meticulously conducted by highly trained and experienced surveyors. Unlike a management survey, an R&D survey is fully intrusive, designed to seek out all ACMs by accessing areas that would otherwise be undisturbed. This involves careful inspection and, where necessary, minor destructive inspection to reveal potential hidden asbestos materials. Samples of suspect materials are safely collected and dispatched to our UKAS accredited asbestos surveys laboratory for rigorous analysis. We then provide a detailed report outlining the location, type, and condition of any ACMs found, empowering you with the exact information required for responsible project planning.

Asbestos was widely used in construction, and it's not always visible. Our intrusive asbestos survey is specifically designed to uncover those often-missed dangers. During pre-construction asbestos testing in Leicester properties, we frequently discover ACMs in places like: behind plasterboard, within partition walls, under floor coverings and screeds, inside ceiling voids, within service ducts, and even in foundations or buried waste. Identifying these hidden asbestos materials before refurbishment or demolition prevents accidental disturbance, safeguarding everyone involved and ensuring your project proceeds without unforeseen hazardous discoveries.
