For any non-domestic building in Rotherham constructed before 2000, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 places a strict 'duty to manage' asbestos. However, when undertaking intrusive work like refurbishment or demolition, a more detailed R&D survey becomes absolutely essential. Unlike a management survey, an R&D survey is designed to uncover all ACMs, even those hidden behind walls, under floors, or within structural elements. Failing to conduct this survey before starting work in Rotherham could lead to severe health risks for workers, significant project delays, costly fines, and even legal action. Our surveys ensure your Rotherham project meets every HSE regulation, guaranteeing safety and peace of mind.

Our expert team conducts a fully intrusive investigation across your Rotherham property. This means we go beyond surface-level inspections, carefully breaking into areas to reveal any hidden asbestos. We systematically locate, identify, and assess any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during future work. Common ACMs we uncover in Rotherham properties include asbestos insulation board (AIB) within partitions or ceiling tiles, asbestos cement sheets in roofs or cladding, pipe lagging, sprayed coatings, floor tiles, and textured coatings like Artex. Each identified material is sampled and sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate analysis. The goal is to provide a comprehensive asbestos register specifically tailored for your Rotherham project's scope.
