Pre-demolition surveys
A more intrusive inspection intended to identify asbestos-containing materials before demolition, strip-out or major structural work begins.
Asbestos Surveys and Management provides Management, Refurbishment and Pre-Demolition surveys with clear reporting, practical guidance and a direct point of contact from enquiry to completion.
Asbestos-containing materials can remain hidden in buildings for decades. A suitable survey helps you understand the risk before maintenance, refurbishment or demolition starts.
A focused service for homeowners, landlords, managing agents, contractors, dutyholders and commercial property owners.
A more intrusive inspection intended to identify asbestos-containing materials before demolition, strip-out or major structural work begins.
Intrusive, project-specific surveys for areas affected by refurbishment, helping teams plan safely before materials are disturbed.
Identify and record asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation, routine maintenance or day-to-day use.
For commercial and non-domestic buildings, managing asbestos risk is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations. Where asbestos may be present, suitable information must be obtained so the risk can be managed and work planned safely. Buildings constructed before 2000 require particular consideration.
If asbestos-containing material is disturbed, fibres can be released into the air and may be inhaled. The safest approach is to understand what is present before intrusive work starts.
If suspected asbestos is unexpectedly uncovered during work: stop the work, keep people away from the area, avoid disturbing the material further and seek competent advice.
If a building was constructed before 2000, asbestos-containing materials may be present and should be considered before intrusive work.
Intrusive work can expose hidden materials, so a project-specific refurbishment or demolition survey may be appropriate before work begins.
This is a legal responsibility. Those responsible for commercial and non-domestic premises must manage asbestos risk under the Control of Asbestos Regulations. An appropriate asbestos survey is a key way to establish the information needed to do this.
Asbestos may remain out of sight for years. The main risk arises when material is damaged or disturbed and fibres can become airborne.
