An R&D Survey is a fully intrusive, destructive inspection designed to unearth every asbestos-containing material within a property. Unlike a standard Management Survey, which assesses accessible areas in occupied buildings, an R&D Survey goes deeper. It involves gaining access to areas that would typically be hidden, such as voids, behind partition walls, under floorboards, or within ceiling structures. This detailed investigation is absolutely vital before any structural alterations, extensive renovations, or demolition work takes place. The goal is to ensure no asbestos is disturbed inadvertently during your project in Skegness, preventing dangerous fibre release.

For property owners, developers, and contractors undertaking significant works in Skegness, East Lindsey, ignoring the potential for hidden asbestos carries immense risks. Disturbing ACMs without proper precautions can lead to serious health implications for workers and site visitors, significant project delays, and substantial legal penalties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). Our thorough R&D surveys provide a detailed asbestos register, enabling you to plan safe removal strategies before work commences, ensuring your project remains on schedule and fully compliant.

If a non-domestic property in Skegness, built before the year 2000, is undergoing refurbishment or slated for demolition, an R&D Survey is a legal requirement.
