An Asbestos R&D Survey is fundamentally different from a Management Survey. It is a highly intrusive investigation, specifically designed to locate all asbestos-containing materials within the area of refurbishment or demolition. This includes breaking into walls, ceilings, floors, and voids to uncover hidden ACMs that might otherwise be disturbed during construction activities.

Our skilled surveyors meticulously examine every accessible and suspected area, collecting samples that are then rigorously analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory. The detailed findings are then compiled into a comprehensive report, providing an 'asbestos register' that precisely maps the location, type, and condition of any ACMs found. This critical information empowers you to plan for their safe removal before any potentially dangerous work begins, ensuring full asbestos compliance.

If your building project in Peterborough involves refurbishment, renovation, or demolition of any commercial, industrial, or public premises constructed before the year 2000, an R&D survey is a legal imperative. This applies to a wide range of 'duty holders' under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), including:

• Property Developers & Construction Companies: Essential before any structural alterations or demolition.
• Commercial Landlords & Business Owners: Before undertaking significant fit-outs or structural changes.
• Facilities Managers: For planned maintenance or upgrades that involve intrusive works.
• Architects & Project Managers: To inform project design and scheduling, ensuring asbestos is managed early.

By securing an R&D survey, you fulfil your 'duty to manage' asbestos, protecting your workforce and avoiding serious legal repercussions.
