What Is a Refurbishment & Demolition Asbestos Survey?
A refurbishment and demolition survey is an intrusive asbestos survey designed to locate asbestos-containing materials within areas that will be affected by planned building work.
Unlike an asbestos management survey, the inspection may involve opening up parts of the building to investigate materials hidden behind walls, ceilings, floors and other structures.
The purpose is to identify asbestos that could be disturbed during the proposed works.
When Do I Need This Type of Survey?
Refurbishment
A survey should cover the areas affected by refurbishment or significant alteration before intrusive work begins.
Demolition
Where a building is being demolished, a comprehensive survey is required to identify asbestos throughout the structure before demolition takes place.
Major Building Works
Extensions, structural alterations, plant replacement and substantial maintenance projects may also require intrusive asbestos investigation.
What Does the Survey Include?
Depending on the building and proposed works, our surveyors may:
- Review available building information
- Define the scope of the planned works
- Inspect accessible and concealed areas
- Carry out intrusive investigation
- Take samples of suspected asbestos materials
- Arrange laboratory analysis
- Record asbestos locations and condition
- Produce a detailed survey report
The findings can then be used to plan appropriate asbestos removal or management before construction work starts.
Avoid Unexpected Asbestos Delays
Discovering asbestos after refurbishment or demolition has started can result in work being stopped, project delays and additional costs.
Surveying the relevant areas beforehand allows asbestos risks to be incorporated into the project programme.
