Unlike a standard management survey, an R&D survey is fully intrusive. Its purpose is to locate all ACMs, including those that might be hidden within the fabric of the building, such as behind walls, above ceilings, or beneath flooring. Our expert surveyors, operating throughout Southwell and the wider Nottinghamshire area, will systematically dismantle or damage parts of the property as necessary to gain access to all areas. This thoroughness is critical because disturbing hidden asbestos during renovation or demolition can release dangerous fibres, posing severe health risks. We meticulously collect samples, sending them for analysis to UKAS-accredited laboratories, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

An Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Survey is a mandatory requirement whenever you plan to carry out works that involve disturbing the building's structure. This includes:

• Refurbishment: Any significant renovation, extension, or alteration work that goes beyond cosmetic changes.
• Demolition: The full or partial dismantling of a building.
• Major Maintenance: Projects like replacing entire ceilings, walls, or significant sections of roofing.

Failing to commission a pre-refurbishment or pre-demolition survey before commencing work is not only dangerous but also a breach of UK health and safety law. Businesses and property owners in Southwell must demonstrate due diligence to avoid severe penalties and ensure worker safety. Our team helps you navigate these legal responsibilities seamlessly.
