Refurbishment and Demolition Survey

A Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is needed before any intrusive work on your building is carried out, such as replacing a ceiling or removing a wall. This survey is destructive, meaning the surveyors need to access and disturb all areas of the building fabric to identify materials that may contain asbestos. The surveyor will take samples of destructive nature, so they need to access all areas of the building. Results from the Refurbishment and Demolition Survey are recorded in a report detailing the location, amount and condition of asbestos-containing materials.

Asbestos Testing and Samples

Asbestos-containing materials can be hard to identify without taking samples. Our technicians use specialized equipment to take samples of materials which may contain asbestos for laboratory analysis. These samples are then sent to a specialist laboratory for analysis to determine whether they contain asbestos. Once the samples have been analyzed, you'll receive a detailed report outlining the locations of any asbestos containing materials, along with advice on how to manage them safely.

It's important to remember that if you're planning any work that involves potential disturbance of materials in your building, you should have an asbestos survey conducted to identify any risks, based upon the ACM present in your building fabric.

Asbestos in the UK

Asbestos was used extensively in the construction industry in the UK from the 1950s until its gradual ban in the late 1990s. As a result, many homes and buildings constructed during this period, or before, may contain asbestos-containing materials. It's estimated that over 5000 people die each year in the UK from asbestos-related conditions.

If you're planning to carry out any work on your home or business, it's important to identify whether any materials in your building contain asbestos. Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon can help with our comprehensive asbestos testing services.
