The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) places a strict 'duty to manage' asbestos on duty holders, particularly before any intrusive work. Failing to conduct a thorough R&D survey can lead to severe consequences, including costly project delays, significant fines, and, most importantly, serious health risks from accidental asbestos fibre release. Our comprehensive surveys help contractors, developers, and homeowners in North Kesteven meet these obligations, providing the peace of mind that comes from knowing all ACMs have been located and appropriate safety measures can be implemented before a single hammer is swung.

Unlike a standard management survey, our Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys are fully intrusive. This means we don't just inspect accessible areas; our trained surveyors carefully open up sections of the building to uncover hidden asbestos. We meticulously check: * Structures behind walls, beneath floorboards, and within ceiling voids * Asbestos cement in roof spaces, soffits, and fascias * Pipe lagging, insulation boards, and textured coatings * Vinyl floor tiles, their adhesives, and other concealed materials Once suspect materials are identified, we safely take samples. These are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate testing, confirming the presence or absence of asbestos. You receive a detailed report outlining all findings, enabling safe planning for any required asbestos removal.

If you are involved in any project that alters the fabric of a pre-2000 building in Sleaford or surrounding areas, you likely need an R&D survey. This includes: * Homeowners planning major renovations, extensions, or demolition of garages/outbuildings. * Builders and Contractors undertaking any strip-out, refurbishment, or demolition works. * Property Developers preparing sites for new construction or significant remodelling. * Landlords and Businesses making alterations to commercial or industrial premises. Essentially, if your work involves disturbing the building's structure, a Refurbishment Demolition Survey is required to protect everyone on site and ensure compliance with HSE guidelines.
