A Refurbishment Demolition (R&D) Survey stands apart from a standard Asbestos Management Survey. While a management survey aims to identify accessible asbestos for ongoing management, an R&D survey is far more intrusive. Its purpose is to uncover all ACMs, even those concealed within walls, ceilings, floors, and other structural elements that will be disturbed during your project. Our qualified surveyors meticulously inspect every area, often necessitating destructive access to parts of the building to ensure nothing is overlooked. This detailed asbestos inspection is critical because disturbing hidden asbestos without proper precautions can release dangerous fibres into the air, posing severe health risks and leading to significant legal penalties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).

As a property owner, developer, or contractor in Sandiacre, you have a crucial 'duty to manage' asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Before any construction, renovation, or demolition work begins, particularly in properties built before 2000, conducting an R&D survey is a fundamental part of fulfilling this legal duty. Failure to commission an R&D survey or to act on its findings can result in fines, project delays, and even imprisonment, alongside the severe health risks to those on site. Our pre-refurbishment and pre-demolition surveys provide the essential information needed to develop a safe removal strategy, ensuring your project proceeds legally and without endangering anyone.
